Man Kayaks 5 Great Lakes in 5 Days

By Rocky Thompson on June 27th, 2011

With the help of a reliable car, plenty of gas money, and some chemical stimulants, 62-year-old Henry Dorfman became the first person to paddle all five Great Lakes in just five days. He went from Superior through Michigan, then Lake Huron and on into Canada to Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. The feat took him on a 2,000-mile road trip, and earns him the distinction of being the first person ever to make the trip. Anyone out there have a helicopter? I bet we could do all five in one day.

    It’s not hard to hit Superior, Michigan, and Huron before lunch… just start in Grand Marais and drop south to the bridge.
