Soaring hundreds of feet into the air, Castle Rock has been a land
mark and a destination since the exploration of Michigan began.
Located just a few miles north of the bridge, Castle Rock offers an
unmatched view of the region and of the
Les
Cheneaux Islands.
I climbed this Michigan wonder when I was 6 years
old. We had just crossed the Straits on the car ferry
listening to the haunting sound of fog horns, the bridge was still
under construction, and listened to the stories of Chief Pontiac
using this same spot as a lookout or observation point.
You can still climb today and the Rock is still
guarded by Paul Bunyan and Babe, the Blue Ox.
