About Lost Creek Adventures
Lost Creek Adventures operates from Cornucopia, Wisconsin — the northernmost community on the Lake Superior shoreline — offering sea kayaking tours, rentals, and outdoor education programmes in and around the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Their base at the mouth of Lost Creek provides direct access to some of the most dramatic mainland sea caves along the South Shore.
Guided tours range from half-day paddles exploring the sandstone sea caves near Cornucopia to full-day expeditions that venture further along the lakeshore, plus multi-day camping trips for those who want to immerse themselves in the Lake Superior wilderness. They also run a folk school programme with classes in traditional outdoor skills, boat building, and nature crafts. Kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals are available for experienced paddlers who want to explore independently.
What makes Lost Creek distinctive is their combination of adventure guiding and outdoor education — the folk school element adds a cultural dimension that most kayak outfitters do not offer. Their Cornucopia location also means less crowded launch points compared to Bayfield-based operators, giving paddlers a quieter, more intimate experience on the water. Guides are deeply connected to the local community and bring stories of Lake Superior history and ecology to every trip.
