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!

Miners Falls

Reviewed By 39chrise - Fort Wayne, United States

It is about a half mile walk back to the falls. The trail is mostly flat and is gravel. The forest you walk through is not super dense but is pretty and has some interesting trees, lots of birds chirping. This is a popular trail so get to the parking lot early to secure a spot. When you arrive at the falls their is an upper and lower platform for viewing, the lower offers an amazing view.

Wagner Falls

Reviewed By Steve5863 - Avon, United States

Wagner Falls is one of the more impressive falls in the Munising area and is located on a 22 acre site maintained by the Michigan DNR having a small parking area on the southside of M-94 just 0.3 miles (0.5k) west of its junction with M-28. From the parking area, the falls are reached by taking a mostly flat, well-maintained trail 0.5 miles (0.8k), through a pretty pine and hemlock forest, to a viewing platform where one will see the falls as it cascades beautifully down a dolomite outcropping with the single highest drop being approximately 20 feet (6.1m). Being one of the nicer falls in the area, this site is quite popular and is even visited by tour groups; if you see a tour bus in the parking lot, we would recommend coming back at a different time as the capacity of the trail and viewing platform is limited.
