Let us introduce you to Lake Superiors natural underwater museum featuring a rare, fully intact, wooden sailing ship that was built before the Civil War and sits only a few feet from the surface of the lake.

Our route includes the tallest Pictured Rocks in the area, up to 300 feet, and as a bonus, you’ll also see two lighthouses. All of this beauty in only ninety minutes. Oh yeah, and did we mention you'll also have a blast! Our tour is a perfect balance of nature and adventure!

  • The Songbird Trail Nature Walk

    This easy 2 mile interpretive hiking loop next to Au Train Campground offers a unique wildlife watching opportunity. The trail winds through forest and field, along bog and lakeshore, and includes an observation platform on Au Train Lake's Buck Bay. The best time to hear the 'woodland concert' is in the morning when the birds are most active, but you can walk the trail any time of the day. In the forested areas, you may see such birds as chickadees, cedar waxwings, and nuthatches. From atop the observation platform, near the trailhead, you may see ducks, shorebirds, and perhaps even an eagle or osprey. Opens May 15.
