Michigan adventurer canoes from Upper Peninsula to Florida — and that’s only halfway

Peter Frank left Michigan in a canoe last summer and paddled to Florida. Now, he’s headed back.

The 23-year-old adventurer left his home in Escanaba on June 27, 2024 in the Upper Peninsula and headed east along the shore of Lake Michigan. He paddled through Canada and cut through Lake Ontario before taking rivers to the Atlantic Ocean and down the east coast to Florida. Now he is starting the long journey northward and back home.
