The Upper Peninsula’s ONLY Pedal Trolley has launched in Houghton by Keweenaw Boat Tours

Keweenaw Boat Tours just launched Upper Michigan’s only pedal trolley tour in Houghton. Choose from 12 seats on this trolley tour and cruise along Lakeshore Drive in a fun and unique way sure to turn heads. Soak up the scenic charm of downtown Houghton while enjoying the duality of the picturesque Portage Canal just in time for summer. Admire the timeless beauty of Jacobsville Sandstone buildings and vibrant artist murals carefully placed downtown. If you’re worried about pedaling fast enough – don’t! The Keweenaw Boat Tours pedal trolley is equipped with electrical assistance for those hilly parts of town and there is no rush!

Stylish Ride:

You won’t go unnoticed cruising down Lakeshore Boulevard on the pedal trolley with Keweenaw Boat Tours. The stylish orange and black “Houghton Gremlin” themed ride screams summertime fun with your friends or colleagues. The trolley holds a seat in the back wide enough for two or three people who aren’t going to pedal in your party. Hide out from the sun with the protective awning, shielding you and your beverage from the elements.

Stops at Your Convenience:

Need to run into Roy’s Pasties for a sweet treat or snack to help you pedal the rest of the way? Keweenaw Boat Tours’ trolley is powered by you – so you have the control! You can stop for scenic views of the canal or if you need a bathroom break. During events like Bridgefest, the pedal trolley is a good way to get around town.

The Pedal Trolley Works Your Legs:

It will feel like pedaling a bicycle, and the more people you book with, the easier it is to pedal! Your trolley operator can turn on an electric motor to assist, but a majority of the work is on your legs. Navigate the Houghton Waterfront while burning calories – perfect for an after-dinner cruise or for bringing a few drinks on board.
