Review & FAQ:

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore was established in 1966 and can be found on the south shore of Lake Superior. The main aspect of the park is its dramatic multicolored rock cliffs, which is what it is named after. During your adventure there you’ll be sure to come across some of their more unusual sandstone formations such as Chapel Rock or Miners Castle. Be sure to stop by Twelvemile Beach where you’ll see a white birch forest span out on one side and the remnants of several shipwrecks dotting the shoreline on the other; amongst the shipwrecks, you’ll also see the marvelous Au Sable Point’s 19th century lighthouse.
