Kayaking the shoreline along Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is an experience that you will not want to miss.

Sandstone cliffs of beautiful reddish and orange hues rise vertically out of the shoreline nearly 200 ft. Ride the swells as you can hear the waves crashing into these rocks which carved beautiful caves, arches, and other natural formations that early explorers used for landmarks over 200 years ago. Paddle the same water as the Voyageurs, trappers, geologists, and Native Americans did as a resident population slowly came to the Upper Peninsula during the fur trading and exploration eras. The cliffs are most prominent along the 15 mile stretch of shoreline between Sand Point and Little Beaver Lake. In some areas the cliffs rise over 200 feet above the lake.
