One of our favorite spots. Rock formations created by the crashing waves of Lake Michigan, a picnic area and nice paths through the woods along the shoreline. It's also magical in winter when the water droplets turn to "crystals" as waves crash against the shoreline. In summer, you'll see some brave "cliff" jumpers, but please be mindful of the conditions if you want to do try this; Cave Point can be very dangerous year round.
