The Pictured Lakes National Lakeshore blesses the north shore of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Long stretches of white sand beaches and two hundred-foot sheer sandstone cliffs rise above Lake Superior along this 42-mile stretch of rugged shoreline. For generations, the Ojibways fished these waters and hunted the land of thunder and the gods.The towering rock cliffs along the shore shelter the nests of peregrine falcons. Further inland, you can watch bald eagles nesting atop old white pine trees. Indeed, Pictured Rocks is not all about Lake Superior: explore its interior labyrinth of white cedar swamps where red maple flourishes at the edges of Michigan wetlands. Hikers can follow old logging roads that penetrate deep into a forest of northern hardwoods, pine, hemlock, spruce, and fir. Fishermen will find nirvana at the many inland lakes and streams teeming with steelhead and cohos salmon.
