Lovers Leap Rock Formation July 15, 2024 An amazing scenic view of the colorful limestone Lovers Leap Rock Formation (also known as Petit Portal arch) on Mackinac Island ... from Lake Superior. Its unique geological view is the cause of crashing waves washing softer rock and soil away, leaving a spire of limestone in its wake. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, America's first National Lakeshore, is unlike any other place on Lake Superior. It offers the opportunity to explore miles of pristine beaches, hike nearly 100 miles of trails, view towering sandstone cliffs, and experience the serenity of northern woodlands. In the spring, a new world appears along trails carpeted with the soft beauty of wildflowers. Summer gives way to warm basking days. Hues of orange, red, and yellow signal the wonder of change in autumn. In the winter, the raw windy beauty of snow frequents the days though periodically the snow blazes forth with sunlight.
