Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

ROAD CLOSURE NOTICE: The road to Miners Beach is closed due to construction. Portions of this road are being paved to reduce erosion, improve public safety and lower cost of maintenance. It is anticipated that the road to Miners Beach will re-open in late July or early August. The roads to Miners Falls and Miners Castle are open. No construction is planned for County Road H-58 during the summer of 2004. Wild Beauty on the Lake Superior Shore . . . Multicolored sandstone cliffs, beaches, sand dunes, waterfalls, inland lakes, wildlife and the forest of the Lake Superior shoreline beckon visitors to explore this 73,000+ acre park. Attractions include a lighthouse and former Coast Guard life-saving stations along with old farmsteads and former logging trails. The park is a four season recreational destination where hiking, camping, hunting, nature study, and winter activities abound. At its widest point the Lakeshore is only five miles and hugs the Superior shoreline for more than 40 miles. This was the first National Lakeshore and was authorized in 1966. Mission Statement of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore: Our shared mission is to conserve the ecosystem integrity of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, a mosaic of geologic, biologic, scenic, and historic features, offering opportunities for recreation, education, inspiration and enjoyment forever.
