<p>Several villages and hamlets lie along the lake’s  shore including Alden, Eastport, Clam River and Torch River.</p>
<p>The ride  is a recreational, social tour that is neither a race nor a test of  strength although the very hilly 100 mile route can be a challenge.</p>
<p>A  picnic lunch at the Elk Rapids Village Beach after the tour is included.  Swimming is excellent!</p>
