Au Sable Light Station

Located within Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, this picturesque lighthouse stands on Au Sable Point on the south shore of Lake Superior, approximately 12 miles west of Grand Marais, Michigan.

Au Sable Light Station Wayside

Au Sable Light Station wayside. Located at the end of the Light Station Trail.

• You are standing at the end of the Au Sable Light Station Trail, overlooking the Au Sable Light Station, which includes the lighthouse tower and all support buildings. From left to right, the buildings are as follows: The garage, a white building with a red roof and garage door; the head keeper's quarters, a two-story brick building with a red roof, green window frames, and a porch; the lighthouse tower, an 86-foot-tall white brick building with black accents on the windows and under the balcony; the assistant keeper's quarters, a two story brick building with a red roof, attached to the lighthouse tower; the fog signal building, a one-story brick building with a green door and a chimney; the boathouse, a one-story white wooden building with a red roof. Four additional support buildings are in this area as well, from closest to you to farthest: the head keeper's outhouse, a small brick building with a green door, two windows, and a red roof; the kerosene storage building, a round yellow building with a conical red roof; the whale oil storage building, a small, square brick building with a white door and red roof; and the assistant keeper's outhouse, nearly identical to the head keeper's outhouse. Main text on the wayside reads “Mariners have long feared traveling on Lake Superior, but there was no section of coast that was more fearsome than the stretch between Grand Island and Whitefish Point. A hidden sandstone reef and dense fogs created a dire need for a light station at this location. In 1874, the Au Sable Light Station began operations. From then until the light station was automated in 1958, a succession of civilian and Coast Guard keepers continually staffed the station, determined to “not let the light go out”. “ A callout with the comparison between the tower’s original Fresnel lens – a large, intricate lens with many rings of reflecting and refracting glass - and today’s LED marine beacon reads, “A third-order Fresnel lens produced the tower’s original light. The nearly-one-ton lens created a light that could be seen 17 miles away. The Fresnel lens was replaced by an automated light in 1958. Today, a solar-powered LED light sits on the tower railing – shining a light that can be seen 12 miles away. The original lens remains in the lens room of the tower.”

Dynamic Dunelands Wayside

• You are about halfway up a sand dune after emerging from the wooded area behind you. If it is a sunny day, you will probably feel the sun on your face and it feels much warmer than before. The sand is a rich yellow-orange and there are dune grasses poking out of the dune all around you. You will soon crest this dune and overlook a broader dunescape, with pockets of evergreen forest surrounding you and a distant view of Lake Superior ahead of you. The wayside in front of you reads, "At the top of this slope, you will transition from the older dune forest into younger, more open dunes. In this dynamic environment, plants get a foothold in the sand one day and are buried by swirling sand the next. Notice where grasses have caught and stabilized sand grains, and where forests have hunkered down out of the wind. The trail ahead of you will take you up a slope and to a spectacular view of Lake Superior. Please stay on the trail to protect fragile dune plants. The scents of wild roses, pine, and balsam poplar fill the dunes on hot days. Hear the wind blowing through dune grasses and feel the texture of the sand. Many of the park’s rarest plants, like the threatened Pitcher’s thistle, grow in the dunes. The park works continually to protect sensitive plants by keeping invasive species out of dune habitats." The background is a photo of dune grasses blowing in the wind and there are separate photos of wild rose and Pitcher's thistle.

Miners Beach

Miners Beach is a beautiful, nearly mile-long stretch of sand and some rocks with the main parking area at the west end (with access to Miners River) and a small parking area at the east end.

• Standing on the viewing platform at the top of the main stairs, a sandy beach extends from the bottom of the stairs about 1/4 mile to the left (west) and 3/4 mile to the right (east). Lake Superior is beyond the beach, filling the view all the way to the horizon. To the east, the greyish tan 200-foot-tall sandstone cliffs begin at the far end of the beach and extend along the shore to the horizon. The cliffs have mostly bare slopes, and trees and other vegetation on top. A thin trickle of water down the slope of one of the nearest cliffs is Bridalveil Falls. This narrow waterfall, which leaves a white stain on the stone slope, is only seen from this beach and from the water. To the west, the tall, forested cliff of Miners Castle can be seen at the end of the beach, across from where the Miners River is flowing into Lake Superior.

Miners Castle

Miners Castle is one of the most famous landmarks along the Pictured Rocks shoreline, and is the only cliff area in the park accessible by vehicle.

• The upper wooden platform at Miners Castle is located on top and at the edge of a 150-foot-tall sandstone cliffline above Lake Superior. The platform includes some clear windows in the walls so that children and shorter people can see the view. Standing at the railing, the wide blue expanse of Lake Superior stretches to the horizon. Below you, the cliffline to the right curves slightly, creating a bay. To the left in the distance about two miles over the water, is 13,000-acre Grand Island. All of the land seen in the distance is part of this large forested island. To the right across the small bay a few hundred yards away is Miners Castle itself, which is a prominent greyish stone structure sticking out vertically at the end of the curving cliff line. The structure is about 90 feet tall from the water level to the top cube-shaped turret. This structure once had two turrets and looked more like an actual castle, but one turret fell off the top in 2006. The opening to a cave at the bottom of the castle can be seen. If conditions are wavy enough, water pours out of the opening as each wave enters the cave from the other side.

Sable Falls Beach

The beach at the end of the Sable Falls Trail is part rock and part sand, with views of the Grand Sable Dunes towering above.

• The beach in front of you is either mostly rocky with small water-polished cobbles or mostly sand, depending on the year. To the left, Sable Creek flows across the beach and into Lake Superior. The creek makes its own path across the beach. Some years the creek flows straight into the lake, and in other years it can flow to the right or the left, in a width of several yards. The darker, tea colored waters of the creek can be seen mingling with the brighter blue waters of Lake Superior just offshore. To the left, the tall, 300-foot high Grand Sable Banks and Dunes rise just past the creek and extend unbroken for five miles to the west. The sand slope is very steep from top to bottom, ending in a very narrow strip of beach at the bottom. The small figure of the Au Sable Lighthouse can be seen in the far distance to the left. To the right, the beach extends a couple of miles, and some buildings of the town of Grand Marais, as well as the breakwater to the harbor, can be seen in the distance.
