Grand Sable Dunes & Sable Falls
Grand Sable Dunes
Towering lakeshore dunes and a stepped waterfall at the eastern end of Pictured Rocks, right beside the small town of Grand Marais. You can visit both together.
The Grand Sable Dunes are perched dunes that rise atop a glacial deposit plateau about 90 meters high, stretching roughly 8 km along Lake Superior. Climb the dunes from the Sable Falls parking lot or the dune trail near the town for views over the lake. Sable Falls lies in a canyon on the west side of the dunes, reached by about 170 steps down. The waterfall cascades in tiers before flowing onto the lakeshore, where you can collect colorful pebbles on the sand. It is about 1 hour 20 minutes' drive from Munising, right next to the town of Grand Marais.
