Pictured Rocks and Lake Superior NPS photo by Brenda St. Martin Working on a report for school? Wanna know more about the Lakeshore and what you can do here? One of the quickest ways to find out stuff about the park is by clicking on the green Site Index at the left. That takes you to a list of all of the information on the park. The Nature and Science section is great for natural history info. The History and Culture section is the place to go for stuff on people and our relationship to this beautiful land. Maps can be found - guess where? Under Plan Your Visit - Maps! Cool. Be sure to check out the Junior Ranger section and if you don't mind cruising the net more, try Web Rangers. 
Munising Falls NPS photo by Brenda St. Martin Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is rich with plants, animals, and stories of human history, giving children plenty of opportunity to explore. Kids visiting the lakeshore enjoy the exhibits at the visitor centers. There are several easy day hikes that kids of all ages can go on, including the Munising Falls trail and the Log Slide overlook. For older children, the Chapel Trail provides a good challenge and is an excellent day hike. In the summer, get kids involved in ranger-led programs including lighthouse tours and campfire programs. Stop by any of the park's visitor centers to check the schedule, ask directions or further suggestions. Family Activities (pdf) |
