Boat Tour of Pictured Rocks in Munising, MI
Our fourth stop in the UP was Munising. We stayed at the Munising Tourist Park Campground (7/9/2022 - 7/13/2022). We loved our spacious corner site (#30) and how close this campground was to the water. The sunsets from our campsite and from the edge of the campground overlooking the water were beautiful! The highlights of our stay in Munising included 1) a Boat tour of Pictured Rocks and 2) super fresh fish and chips at Cap'n Ron's Fish 'N' Chips.
Pictured Rocks Cruises
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, on the south shore of Lake Superior, has miles of beautiful beaches, almost 100 miles of hiking trails, and fantastic sandstone cliffs. Instead of hiking Pictured Rocks, we decided to do something different and took a boat tour with Pictured Rocks Cruises. We decided on the sunset boat cruise, which was 2.5 hours and a lot of fun. Pictured Rocks Cruises offers four different boat cruises. Check out their website and see which one interests you.
Fish 'N' Chips
At Cap'n Ron's Fish 'N' Chips, we went with the Cap’n’s Basket to try both the Lake Superior trout and whitefish. We got three pieces of each, french fries and coleslaw. It was a lot of delicious, very fresh food. We highly recommend sharing the Cap’n’s Basket to try both fish.
Things To Do In Munising
In addition to the boat tour and the food, Munising has many other things to offer. Munising Falls are located in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and are easily accessible by a short hiking trail. The waterfall is 50 feet tall and the perfect photo op.
Another popular attraction is Grand Island. This large island is located off the coast of Munising and accessible by ferry or kayak. The island has miles of hiking and biking trails, beautiful beaches, and scenic overlooks. You can spend the day exploring the island or camp overnight.
There are several companies in Munising that offer guided tours. You can rent kayaks, canoes, or stand-up paddleboards and explore the waterways. Or take a guided ATV tour and explore the land. Brave enough to visit Munising during the winter? There is even a snowmobile tour during the winter months.
Like art? There is a little art alley in downtown Munising. This art alley was first installed in 2018 and is a seasonal exhibit displaying reproduced works of art by local residents.
