Mners Castle Rock is very beautiful, and it's a must see. The little caves below the rock are very cool, and if you have or rent a pontoon or any boat, they're safe to swim in, and they're light and bright! A very good experience!

This is a beautiful spot, go early and you'll have the place to yourselves. We enjoyed the lookout spots and then hiked down to Miners Beach. Don't miss this spot if you're in Munising.

Took some time to hike out to the different lookouts around Miners Castle. I met a couple on the trail who told me about a bald eagle perched up ahead, sadly by the time I got there it was gone, but it was good to see the excitement in their face. The views were gorgeous, but it was a little... More

This rock formation is easy to get to and a very short walk on well-paved trails. The water looks just like the Caribbean! We had taken the Pictured Rocks Cruise earlier in the day and had seen Miners Castle Rock from the lake, I'm glad we went back and saw it from land, just breathtaking!

Typical Naional Park site. Well run, good parking, clean and a Ranger to ask questions of. Glad we stopped here and saw it from above before doing boat trip and seeing from water. Well worth seeing, There is no charge.

Visiting this lookout was one of the highlights of our trip to the Pictured Rocks National Park. The lookout is very well maintained and gives you a great view of the Miners Castle Rock as well as the shoreline around Lake Superior. Do make sure that you visit the Pictured Rocks lookout just a couple minutes walk from the Miners... More

Two lookouts for viewing the rock within a 'stone's throw' of the parking area and a very nice restroom area, plus another lookout a good little hike away but worth it! Nice trails. Pretty clean, too.

You can hike to it pretty easy. Nice overlook to the castle rock. Easy walk to the overlook and a bit more difficult to the top of the castle
