Body
Castle Rock is considered to be one of the oldest lookout points near St. Ignace and was known as "Pontiac's Lookout" by the Ojibwa Tribe. It rises an astonishing 195 feet above water level offering a scenic and inspiring view for up to 20 miles, featuring Mackinac Island, Lake Huron, downtown St. Ignace and wildlife habitat. The lookout point is equipped with viewing binoculars for a spectacular view of the area. Our gift shop features a birch bark ceiling and walls hand crafted by local Native Americans in the early 1950's.
