The Lake Superior coastline in Alger County can clearly be considered to be one of the top highlights of the Great Lakes. Host to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Alger County features a variety of scenery and recreational options: You can kayak or hike the shoreline, as well as see the cliffs by tour boat. There are also plenty of rivers, streams and trails inland, that offer a great place for fishing, hiking, and winter snowmobiling.

The communities of Munising and Grand Marais make a great starting point to see the National Lakeshore. They offer a variety of resorts, restaurants and shopping opportunities. Be sure to load up on film, because you'll need it!
