Pure Michigan: Vacation Destination

The residents of the state of Michigan understand the effects of the declining automotive industry more than most. Detroit is on the news nightly, and for all those who have never been to Michigan, you may think we live in an industrial mecca.  There is much industry here, but the majority of the state is not smoke stacks and huge factories.  It is sandy beaches, pine and hardwood forests, secluded inland lakes and the Great Lakes too.  It is golf courses for beginners or pros, and every skill set in between.  It is fishing, hunting, hiking and biking like no other.  It is people who love their state and would not live anywhere else.

We are inviting you to share in our wealth this summer, see what you’ve been missing.  Go to the Pure Michigan web site for more information.   And while you are here, give Nauticraft a call.  We’d be happy to show you the boats we proudly say are “Made in Michigan”

Escapade owner cruises the Erie Canal

John H. approached us a year ago, asking if it was possible to travel down the Erie Canal using the Escapade.  We said yes, of course, which prompted him to order one last January.  He picked up his Escapade here in Michigan in June of 2008.  Read his accounts of the preparation for the trip, then his voyage down the Canal during the summer of ’08.
