Comment
Established in 1966 as our first national lakeshore, Michigan’s Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is a narrow strip of a park that hugs the Lake Superior coast for more than 40 miles. The shoreline consists of 200-foot-high colourful sandstone cliffs, numerous beaches, and 300-foot-tall sand dunes. The shoreline is bordered by boreal and eastern hardwood forests with numerous waterfalls, streams, and lakes. There is abundant wildlife, including black bears, deer, and porcupine, with bald eagles and peregrine falcons dotting the skies.Interesting fact
The Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore quarter, released in 2018 as part of the America the Beautiful Quarters program, features a unique design that showcases the picturesque scenery of the Michigan park. The coin's reverse side depicts a stunning view of the park's sandstone cliffs, with the lake in the background and a white pine tree in the foreground. This design was created by artist Paul Balan and sculptor Michael Gaudioso, and it is the first time that a national park from Michigan has been featured on a US coin.
