The height of the rocks reaches 60 meters above the lake level. In these rocks are naturally formed various caves, arches, towers of the castle, even you can see in them different images, and even human profiles.

Unusual colors of lake rocks are obtained due to the content in them of a large number of different minerals and metals. Thus, red inclusions are obtained due to iron, black and white shades due to manganese, and yellow-brown to copper, etc. Also on the rocks one can see bands of red, yellow or red color, they arose due to the action of the underwater waters that flow out of the walls of these rocks , percolating through the sandstone.

Park Pikched Roks attracts numerous and different in appearance waterfalls. Among them is the 15-meter-high Munising Waterfall, the same major waterfall as Miners, Birdawale Falls, which is gaining momentum during the rainy season and the melting of snows, and in the hot summer days it practically dries up.

In 1966, the US Congress designated the Picchad Rocks as a protected lake area and the name of the reserve became Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and for the prosperity of the reserve, the National Park Service (NPS) is responsible.
