Beautiful View Of Miners Castle
A beautiful scenic overlook view of Miners Castle along the Pictured Rocks shoreline and waters of Lake Superior. Miners Castle is one of the most famous Pictured Rocks shoreline landmarks and is the only cliff area in the park accessible by vehicle.
The Pictured Rocks cliffs hold great spiritual significance to the Anishinaabe or Ojibwe people who have lived in this area for thousands of years. Miners Castle was named by Englishman Alexander Henry’s employees when they were exploring the area for minerals in 1771. Though no minerals were ever found, the name "Miners" has endured.
To the geologist, Miners Castle is an open textbook, revealing the history of the Earth at the northern edge of the Michigan Basin. The Pictured Rocks escarpment is one of the primary landscape features along the entire south shore of Lake Superior.
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, America's first National Lakeshore, is unlike any other place on Lake Superior. It offers the opportunity to explore miles of pristine beaches, hike nearly 100 miles of trails, view towering sandstone cliffs, and experience the serenity of northern woodlands. In the spring, a new world appears along trails carpeted with the soft beauty of wildflowers. Summer gives way to warm basking days. Hues of orange, red, and yellow signal the wonder of change in autumn. In the winter, the raw windy beauty of snow frequents the days though periodically the snow blazes forth with sunlight.
