Who knew rock formations could be so cool? Prepare for jaw-dropping views, including the Miners Castle formation, complete with a towering turret. And don’t miss the Grand Sable Banks, rising 300 feet above Lake Superior.
Some of the formations are accessible by car, but others take more effort to see. Chapel Rock, an 80-foot scenic waterfall, is reachable by a three-mile hike. The Grand Portal, a giant archway, is viewed best from a boat tour or kayak.
With 100 miles of trails leading to remote streams and inland lakes, exploration never stops. Historic sites include a Civil War blast furnace and the still-active Au Sable lighthouse. Visit Miners Beach, with 73,000 acres on the Lake Superior shoreline, to take a dip.

Camping in the park is a rustic affair, but the vistas make up for that. None of the sites have water, electric or sewer hookups, and cell service is limited. Camping is permitted in winter, and the park allows skis, snowmobiles and ice fishing.
