Miners Falls

Munising · Michigan · United States

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is huge, and it's free to visit. It has colorful cliffs, beaches, and waterfalls, so there's something for everyone.

Miners Beach is my favorite beach. It faces Lake Superior, with forest behind it and colorful cliffs on both sides. The water is crystal clear, and the sand is quite fine. It was cloudy when we visited, so the photos didn't turn out as vibrant. On a sunny day, the colors would look amazing.

Upper Overlook and Lower Overlook are viewing platforms where you can see the colorful cliffs and the lake.
