The sea caves extend around 3 miles long from the Meyers Beach. The caves are mostly in shade before noon and they will be gorgeous during sunset. Highly recommend to go there in the morning or late afternoon when the wind speed is low. Multiple kayak rental services there. But I still like paddle boarding there.

Gorgeous cliffs, waters and forest habitat! Really well managed trail. The first mile or two are mostly on wooden slats, especially in moister areas, which is nice. Saw a couple bald eagles further down. Parking lot wasn’t too bad later in the evening. Don’t skip out on the paying the entrance fee- that’s what keeps these places enjoyable :,)

It’s a very beautiful place to hike! If you love the outdoors! You can also rent Kayaks or take tours which is very fun! I brought my boat out and then you can really get up close to the shoreline and cliffs! Just have to be careful with the weather, waves can get pretty big out there!

Small yet very beautiful National Park. The Lakeshore trail is an easy 4-5 mile trail for the entire family, young and old, and through lush green forests provides amazing views of the rugged shoreline with its sea caves. Wish I had a kayak!

One of my favorite National parks to visit. Very tranquil listening to the waves washing on shore as you drift off to sleep while camping lakeside on one of the many campsites located on the water. Saw the Northern lights. Sea caves are beyond words. A must see. Stunning historic light houses. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Plan for weather to change without notice if you're on the lake. Should have taken a bigger boat but enjoyed the wild waves nevertheless.
