Suzy's Cave

A wave-carved rock arch on the old shoreline about 3 km southwest of Rock Harbor. It is a natural arch shaped by waves thousands of years ago, when the lake level was much higher.

Suzy's Cave is not really a cave but a rock arch carved by waves. It sits in the woodland above today's shoreline and bears witness to the time after the last Ice Age, when Lake Superior's water level was far higher than it is now. From Rock Harbor, follow the Tobin Harbor trail or the Rock Harbor lakeshore trail. The round trip is about 6 km and takes 2 hours, and it can be combined with Scoville Point or the Tobin Harbor trail for a half-day loop. You can pass through the arch, but the rock is slippery, so take care. Free (included in the park entry fee).
