Discover the Wonders of the Pictured Rocks from your Cruise Boat on Lake Superior

 

Pictured Rocks Boat Cruises and Sunset Cruise

The world famous Pictured Rocks sandstone cliffs are colored by minerals in the water, shaped by wind, ice, and waves. As the heavy ice formations and tremendous waves crash into the cliffs, the rocks are changed.

Bring your camera and join us on a breathtaking 2 1/2-3 hour cruise along Pictured Rocks Nationalpicture rocks, pictured rocks, munising Lakeshore. The crystal clear blue green waters of Lake Superior have created masterpieces of colors and rock formations found nowhere else in the world.

Located along the south shore of Lake Superior (Gitchee-Gumee), the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore extends 37 miles eastward from Munising to Grand Marais, a colorful weather "carved" expanse of forest-topped rocks.

The cruise passes points such as Lovers Leap, Grand Portal, Miners Castle, and Indian Head. These rock sculptures are described with legend and lore by your captain. The boat slowly cruises close to some of the rocks so that you may take outstanding photos. The boat travels 18 miles along the lakeshore and turns around at Chapel Rock.

For over fifty years Pictured Rocks Boat Cruises has provided thousands of visitors the unforgettable experience of seeing these incredible formations up close in comfort and safety.
