To actually see the pictured rocks you must either rent kayaks to get close up and personal, or take the boat tour.The double tiered boat gives you sensational views of the magnificent turquoise, orange, brown, copper, pink colors within the stones sculpted and worn by the seas of Lake Superior. The backdrop of the turquoise water is reminiscent of the pacific ocean and is a sight to behold.

When we started planning our vacation I thought we would rent kayaks.....until I saw how expensive it was. We passed and decided on the pontoon instead after reading a few reviews. It was cheaper than kayaking, and we didn’t have to wear a mask like on the tour boats since we were on our own. It was so relaxed and we all enjoyed our time! The half day was plenty of time to see the lakeshore and the sunken boat. We stopped briefly at the last beach-there is a neat little waterfall there. We think this is the only way to see pictures rocks. Kayaking seemed kind of stressful and you don’t see very much of the coastline from what we observed. The people at Seabergs were great to work with! The boats were clean and well kept!
6. Chapel Rock and Beach
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By LM4U2 - St. George, United States
20 miles east from Munising, with the last 5 miles on dirt road. A couple small parts of the road are rough, but we went slow in a compact car and had no problems. We did the long loop to Chapel Falls, Chapel Rock, Chapel Beach, the Lakeshore Trail with stunning overviews of the Pictured Rocks, then the Mosquito Falls trail. My GPS read 11.8 miles, but much of the route is flat. It took us 6.5 hours including a long lunch break and a leisurely pace. There are ways to shorten the loop, but you would miss something very special if you did so. If you have the legs for it, and you are doing the scenic cruise, get the most out of Pictured Rocks National Loop by completing this loop! Trails are marked but in some spots it is tricky to find the trail.

Well maintained. Great service. Awesome golfing and ice cream. One of the best, if not the best, course we have ever played on. Lots of fun and holes like we had never saw before. Mix of challenging and regular holes. No easy hole in ones! It was great.

What a beauty and saving grace! The Superior coast can be a bit overcrowded in August so head inland a bit and find a small rustic campground in Hiawatha. There's no shortage of beautiful lakes to watch the sunrise from. Make friends with your camp hosts and thank them for a clean pit toilet and tidy campground. Then support your National Parks!!
