About Miners Castle Rock

Miners Castle Rock is home to a stunning rocky arch formation over Lake Superior. The intriguing structure has long been admired by those who have ventured to the area, but was only given the name Miners Castle in 1924, when an increase of tourists led to an awareness of its beauty. The castle formation is created from vividly colored sandstone and stands alongside two columns that were once one solid mass before being split by erosion.
