Paddle your way through Hell at Hell Kayak and Canoe Rentals! Stop into Bruin Lake Campground inside Pinckney Recreation Area to start your paddling experience and acquire your boating equipment.

When you rent from Hell Kayak and Canoe Rentals, your ride can include Bruin Lake, Watson, Patterson, Woodburn, Half Moon, Blind, and Hi-land. This is a popular spot for rentals in the summer, so they offer online booking to reserve your craft of choice.

This rental experience makes it easy to explore the chain of lakes at your own pace. The most popular trek to and from Hell, Michigan, starts and ends at the Bruin Lake boat launch. You can expect to ride for approximately three hours one way to see all the lakes in the chain and make it to Hell. Don’t forget the map provided at the clubhouse, or bring your GPS to explore as much as possible and have an easy route back.

For a special experience during your ride, ask about their pop-up picnic experiences. Each picnic is individually crafted to fit your occasion and cater to your likes and desires.
