Trikes For Life Excursions

The North Shore of Lake Superior and Trikes For Life Excursions have joined together  as only a trike and the world's largest lake could do . In addition to having  the trike ride of your life, we have included a listing of  what else you need to know...and consider doing...on your excursion. 

   Too much to see and do and so little time! 

 We are a Full Day Excursion that will provide  lifetime memories of  joy and discovery..

 The Gitchi-Gami State Trail is the paved bike trail we use as our primary venue.

   Presently, there are 15 miles of continuous paved trail. We generally start

    at the end that will have a trailing wind. The trail connects Beaver Bay on

    the  east end of the bike trail  to Gooseberry Falls State Park on the west

          done  wildlife displays. 

NO WAY YOU CAN DO ALL THIS AND STILL RIDE THE TRIKES!

 That's where we come in to help you design the kind of day you'd like to have.

 If you just want to ride the trikes...you can do that too. You can end the day as exhausted and dripping wet as your heart desires.  Hey, it's your day!

Please call  or e-mail us and we can begin to design exactly what you want for your family or group of up to seven. The trikes are incredible. Lake Superior is incredible, and we will do our best to put together an absolutely incredible day for you.
