Pictured Rocks Cruises Cruises leave from Munising City Pier Discover the Wonders of the Pictured Rocks from your Cruise Boat on Lake Superior
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 National 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.
This cruise takes you past the old East Channel Light as you cruise along the rock formations on Grand Island and enjoy an evening on the water. The East Channel Light on the southeast shore of Grand Island,built in 1869-1870, directed ships past the dangerous shoal of Sand Point. Improved range lights were built in 1908 and the East Channel Light was finally abandoned in 1913.
