Known best for its colorful and contrasting sandstone cliffs, the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore offers some of the most scenic and enjoyable paddling in all of Michigan. The high cliffs, sea caves, rock arches, sandy beaches, and forested terrain along the lakeshore provide a unique and interesting backdrop for exploration. This section of the lakeshore highlights the most dramatic cliffs of the area as well as some interesting rock formations, two arches and a waterfall. The out-and back trip all the way to Spray Falls is a good option for advanced paddlers but beginner and intermediate paddlers can also enjoy the area by covering shorter distances and staying closer to Miner's Beach. There are not a lot of landing spots along this section of shoreline and waves and cold waters are also hazards and require extra caution.
