Log Slide Overlook

Traveling along the Lake Superior shore we made a number of stops including this overlook, known as Log Slide Overlook, where loggers used to drop the logs down a wooden chute on the dunes to be picked up on the beach and brought out to waiting ships. This is the south shore of Lake Superior in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and the view is to the west. This area is mostly steep dunes but further west turns to sheer cliffs known as Pictured Rocks. The lighthouse is the Au Sable Point Light and the whole area is part of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
