Grand Marais Lake Superior is a kitesurf spot located on the southern shore of Lake Superior, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. This small, isolated village offers access to Lake Superior in a wild and spectacular setting. The colorful Pictured Rocks cliffs are visible to the west. The natural harbor of Grand Marais provides relative shelter, but the open lake presents powerful conditions. Spot for advanced riders.
