  • Lake Learning Tour – July 22, 2026

    The Dam Shop 118 Bridge Street, Elk Rapids, MI, United States

    Our popular Lake Learning Tours are back this season—and they’re free! You just have to register. Join our lake biologist for a relaxed, on-the-water experience exploring the basics of lake ecology. We’ll cover aquatic plants, shoreline health, invasive species, plankton, loons, water quality and more! You’ll also hear about current and upcoming lake projects and how you can get involved. We depart from the Elk Rapids Marina and travel through the Elk River into Elk Lake aboard a generously donated pontoon boat. Children ages 8 and up are welcome with an accompanying adult.
