Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is a 42-mile preserved lakeshore along Michigan's Lake Superior coastline, spanning a total land area of more than 73,000 acres throughout the state's Upper Peninsula region. It was originally preserved in 1966, becoming America's first national lakeshore, and welcomes more than 475,000 annual visitors each year for ample outdoor recreational opportunities, including boating, fishing, and swimming along its beautiful beachfront areas. Unique natural environments are preserved, including its namesake colorful Pictured Rocks cliffs and the Miners Castle and Chapel Rock sandstone formations. More than 100 miles of hiking and biking trails are offered throughout the lakeshore, along with opportunities for backcountry camping and hunting in several areas. Preserved historic attractions include the 19th-century Au Sable Point Lighthouse, which is famously surrounded by the remnants of a number of historic shipwrecks.
