Alger County is home to the spectacular Pictured Rocks shoreline that rests along Lake Superior. These unique cliff edges, caves, and formations are composed mainly of limestone and sandstone. The rock formations have evolved from natural erosion, weather, water, and time. Layers of colored sediment have created the "pictured" feeling and have been sculpted by nature into interesting forms.
Water also caresses the landscape in the form of waterfalls. With seventeen major waterfalls, the area is a tranquil canvas of beauty. The abundance of waterfalls is a direct result of the Munising Formation (Northern Michigan Cuesta) which is comprised of the limestone/sandstone shelf that are the foundation for the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
