Munising is home to several natural wonders including the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, the Hiawatha National Forest, the Grand Island National Recreation Area, and the Alger Underwater Preserve. During the warmer seasons, visitors can enjoy boat and kayak tours of the Pictured Rocks, discover shipwrecks in Munising Bay, explore the historic Grand Island, and marvel at over 14 waterfalls. Outdoor enthusiasts will find hundreds of miles of year-round recreational trails to enjoy, while those seeking a more relaxed pace can indulge in the many charming coffee shops, gift shops, breweries, and restaurants that Munising has to offer.
Carving sandstone cliffs and caves out over time, the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore stretches 42-miles along the lake’s gorgeous shoreline
Hiking, biking, backpacking, backcountry camping, bird watching – with the 894,836-acre Hiawatha National Forest in our backyard, the woodland pursuits are endless.
When looking north over Lake Superior—especially from any of the areas along the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore—you can see the entire horizon and revel in the broad view of a glorious night sky.
