Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

Along the edge of Lake Superior in Michigan, water seeps from cracks in the impressive sandstone cliffs. The mineral deposits in this water streaks the rocks with bold colors. This is how Pictured Rocks gets its name – that colorful stretch of land.

Enhancing the park’s beauty are natural caves that have formed in the cliffs over time. These are ready for visitors to explore – along with several scenic waterfalls that dot the landscape. Established as America’s first National Lakeshore, this region is home to a unique beauty.
