If you are only passing through Munising, Michigan, one of the quickest ways to see Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is to stop at the scenic overlook on the north west side of Munising. This overlook gives you a view of Munising Bay, Grand Island and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. After seeing this view I guarantee you will want to come back for more. We stopped here just after the sun popped out and lit up Grand Island. The water seemed to glow a deep blue and the fall colors on Grand Island were perfect peak.
