Pictured Rock Lakeshore on Michigan's upper peninsula is worth the visit if you are the outdoor type. It's beautiful to be sure but if you plan to spend days there be prepared to hike through the woods, kayak or take boat tours as everything and activity revolves around the water and the cliffs. Not much to do in town except ramble through a few touristy gift shops. Good food is tricky to find so check out the visitor's center and ASK. There is good art to be found if you are into that but of course it's related to the area and there are a couple of galleries that pretty much have only American Indian influence. Be sure to have your picture made with the large sasquatch statue at the ice cream store in downtown Munising. I give Pictured Rocks a five star rating because it is absolutely unique in it's scenic beauty. The water is lovely, the cliffs are amazing and the East Chanel Lighthouse on Grand Island is a sight to behold. There are paintings of it and photo reproductions of it everywhere in the world. Do NOT get off the boat and visit the lighthouse even though it may be tempting because mosquitoes will eat you. Thumbs up!
I love everything about this place from the falls to the wildlife! This is pure Michigan!
Neat spot clear water. Water can be warm during summer.
This National Lakeshore is gorgeous! Spans a long section of the UP and is worth spending some time hiking through. I only did some moderate hikes, but could've easily spent my whole vacation here.
I've waited too long to go here! It is gorgeous! We found pink sand at the end of sandpoint rd (my daughter was ecstatic to find). The views are stunning! There is so much to see in small radius a couple days is not enough time, but if that's all you have take it you wont be disappointed! I can't wait to go back and . And I want to do a boat ride or rent kayaks so we can view from the water! This should be on everyone's bucket list!
If you are from Michigan then Pictured Rock Lakeshore should be high on your to-do list. The colorful sandstone cliffs can extend up to 200 feet above lake level. There are 42 miles of beautiful hiking along Lake Superior with continuous views of the cliffs. I would recommend hiking during peak color season in the late fall to avoid the heat and flies. Also, there are many waterfalls in the area that you can either hike to or drive to for short day trips.
