Alt Text Map of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan. The park is shown in shades of green, surrounding areas in beige, and Lake Superior in blue. Extended Description The park creates a shallow diagonal from the center of the left edge of the map angling up toward the top right corner. This description will move from west to east in the park before moving to features in the surrounding area and a full transcription of the legend. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore The upper edge of the park abuts Lake Superior, and the bottom edge is stepped. Much of the park is shaded light, honeydew green, representing the Lakeshore Zone (National Park Service). A section about halfway along the park is shaded brighter lime green for Wilderness with Lakeshore Zone (NPS). Most of the park, however, is shaded frosty sage green, representing Inland Buffer Zone (mixed ownership). The Munising Falls Visitor Center, which has a picnic area and wheelchair access, is tucked into the southwest point of the park on South Bay near Munsing Falls and a cross-country ski trail. Moving northeast is Sand Point Maritime Exhibit Park Headquarters, which is wheelchair accessible in summer and has a picnic area. The nearby self-guiding Marsh Trail is wheelchair accessible. Continuing on are Miners Beach, which has wheelchair access and a picnic area, and Miners Falls and Miners Falls Trail off Miners Lake slightly south. The final sites in this stretch of honeydew green are Mosquito Beach, Mosquito Falls, a Trailhead, Chapel Falls, Chapel Beach, Grand Portal Point, and Chapel Rock around Chapel Basin. Spray Falls is on the border of the honeydew and central lime-green areas, the latter representing Beaver Basin Wilderness (NPS). Slightly south of the shoreline is Little Beaver Lake and Little Beaver Nature Trail, which has an NPS campground, boat launch, and self-guiding trail in a narrow, vertical sliver of honeydew green. The oval Beaver Lake is just south of Twelvemile Beach, which stretches across this section. A trail leads to Beaver Basin Overlook, which has a campground in another shard of honeydew green. Twelvemile Beach with the White Birch Trail, an NPS campground, self-guiding trail, and a picnic area are in the next honeydew-green section. Kingston Lake with a boat launch, picnic area, and public campground and Joelda with a private campground are to the south in the sage-green area. Continuing along the honeydew-green section along the shoreline are Lake Superior Overlook, which has wheelchair access; Hurricane River and Au Sable Light Station Trailhead, which has a NPS campground, wheelchair access, self-guiding trails, and a picnic area; Au Sable Light Station at Au Sable Point; and Log Slide Scenic Overlook, which has a picnic area. Along the Grand Sable Banks and Grand Sable Dunes that follow is the Log Slide Scenic Overlook, which has a picnic area. Grand Sable Lake Overlook has a picnic area on the west side of Grand Sable Lake, and there is parking at the northern point and a boat launch and picnic area on the east side of the lake. The Grand Sable Visitor Center, which is open seasonally and wheelchair accessible, is slightly northeast of the lake, and a cross-country ski trail and Sable Falls Dune Trail with a picnic area is closer to the shoreline above. Represented with a green dashed line, the North Country National Scenic Trail enters the map near the lower right corner outside of the park areas. It winds north and east to line the shoreline of Lake Superior until it shifts south of the Grand Sable Dunes before continuing off the right edge of the map. Surrounding Areas Just east of the park, the US Forest Service Office Hiawatha National Forest, City/Boat dock, boat launch, and a hospital are in Munising, an area shaded in mustard yellow lining much of the South Bay. Sites in the town of Christmas on the shoreline to the east of Munising include Bay Furnace with a public campground and Munising Tourist Park with a private campground. A blue dotted line representing the Grand Island Ferry in this area connects to Grand Island. Echo Lake is near the center of the island, and Grand Island National Recreation Area Hiawatha National Forest, which has information at the US Forest Service Office, is to the north. Twelve public campgrounds are spaced around the perimeter of the island, and East Channel Lighthouse is across from Sand Point. A trail winds around the entire island. A network of red lines represents highways running to, through, and around the park. State Route 28 ripples past Christmas and through Munising before turning south and then east, where it is also labeled State Route 94. A road shown in red encased in yellow continues from Munising up into the park. One leg continues lakeside to end at Sand Point. The other leg continues east as County Road H58 to the town of Van Meer. County Road H58 then turns northeast through Melstrand. A yellow-encased black line labeled Chapel Road extends from Melstrand and continues north through the park to end at a Trailhead at the edge of Chapel Basin. County Road H58 continues northeast beyond Melstrand near and along the southern end of the park, where another yellow-encased black line travels north through the park to Little Beaver Lake. A note there reads “Steep, narrow road; vehicle size restricted.” H58 continues east and then north to enter the park along Kingston Lake and up to Twelvemile Beach, Lake Superior Overlook, and Hurricane River. One leg slightly east of this leads up to Log Slide Scenic Overlook and then continues to Grand Sable Visitor Center before leaving the park and extending off the right side of the map. Back along the left edge of the map, State Route 94 enters the map near the bottom corner to join State Route 28 close to the town of Wetmore. County Road H13 travels north-south from the bottom edge of the map to cut through Hiawatha National Forest, by the Hanley Field Airport, and to County Road H58 near the Munising Falls Visitor Center. The combined State Routes 94 and 28 continue east of Wetmore to pass Munising KOA, which has a private campground, and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Field Office before reaching the town of Shingleton, about a third of the way across the map. County Road H15 connects Shingleton to Van Meer to the north, passing Catchin’ Crickets and a private campground there along the way. State Route 28 continues in a straight line to the east over Seney National Wildlife Refuge and under Lake Superior State Forest. County Road 454, also labeled Creighton Road, travels north from State Route 28 to lead to a network of roads around a cluster of lakes just south of County Road H58. In this area, North Gemini Lake, and Ross Lake each have a boat launch and public campground; South Gemini Lake, Canoe Lake, and Cusino Lake have public campgrounds. State Route 28 continues through the town of Seney, which is near the bottom right corner of the map, and beyond. State Route 77 travels north to travel with State Route 28 for a short distance before turning north in Seney. A four-wheel road, Fox River Road, extends diagonally up and the left away from Seney to pass Seney Municipal and Fox River, both of which have public campgrounds. State Route 77 continues north to pass East Branch Fox River with a public campground and ends at County Road H58 in Grand Marais, which is just west of the park on the lake. Woodland Park has a private campground and a nearby boat launch. A dotted pale purple line snaking across the map, sometimes south of the park and sometimes within its boundaries, represents the Lake Superior Drainage Basin Boundary. Legend In the upper left corner of the map, the legend begins with text, “Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore consists of two zones. The Lakeshore Zone is federal land managed by the National Park Service (NPS). The Inland Buffer Zone is a mixture of federal, state, and private ownership. Respect the rights of private landowners.” A scale measures distances of 1 and 5 kilometers and 1 and 5 miles. Three columns of symbols represent National Park Service campground, Other public campground, Private campground, Boat launch, Self-guiding trail, Cross-country ski trail, Picnic area, Wheelchair-accessible, and Hospital. The legend continues as follows: Honeydew green for Lakeshore Zone (NPS), Sage green for Inland Buffer Zone (mixed ownership), Lime green for Wilderness within Lakeshore Zone (NPS), Red line for Paved road, Black line for Unpaved road, Yellow-encased red and black lines for Lakeshore access via paved and unpaved roads, Black dashed line for 4-wheel drive road, and Green dashed line for Trail.
