Castle Rock, Limestone stack summit in St. Ignace, United States.
Castle Rock rises 195 feet above Lake Huron, forming a natural limestone formation with stairs leading to an observation platform at the top.
The Eby family purchased this geological formation in 1928 and transformed it into a tourist destination that continues operating through generations.
The site features statues of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, connecting Michigan's geological heritage with American folklore traditions.
Visitors can access Castle Rock from May to October, climbing outdoor stairs to reach the summit for 20-mile views across Lake Huron.
The gift shop contains walls and ceiling made from birch bark, crafted by Native Americans during the 1950s.
