Both my sons and I rode around the Lake the weekend of 6/5/15 - 6/7/15. On Saturday we left Harbors Springs and did the Tunnel of Trees, crossed the Mackinaw Bridge, took Route 2 along the lake, then shot up 77 all the way to Grand Marais to the furthest east side of Pictured Rocks.
We rode H58 all the way through to Munising making stops along the way including Miner's Falls and Miner's Castle.
Miner's Falls was infested with mosquitoes so it was a quick snap of a picture and then hiked back the half mile to the parking lot. The road is gravel to Miner's Falls which didn't thrill us too much either. The falls are beautiful but if you don't want to ride on gravel or hike a mile round trip, pass on this part.
The road to Miner's Castle is paved and in good shape. The view is spectacular and worth the ride in.
Overall though, we all agreed H58 turned out to be the highlight of our 1,200 mile ride.
No, there are not the amenities that other routes have and quite frankly there shouldn't be on this ride. We had our fill of lakefront so not seeing much was somewhat refreshing. Just a nice winding 48 mile ride from one end to the other.
While many will disagree, the three of us enjoyed H58 more than the Tunnels of Trees we completed earlier in the day. Can't wait to ride it again.

A beautiful drive. The road is new and very smooth. There are many nice long, sweeping curves and a few hills. The forest is beautiful and the views of Lake Superior are breathtaking. I planned two hours for this ride and hurried through it in six. I couldn't help but stop and look. If you want to ride fast through twisties, Michigan is not your state. If you want to see beauty and ride some nice roads, Michigan is a must ride.

This is a great road that, on a big touring bike, lets you put her in 5th gear and just go with the flow. Beautiful scenery although you have to get off the bike and go for short walks to get a view of Lake Superior. It is always very close but the view is blocked by trees most of the way. Lots of curves but sport bike riders will look for something more aggressive.

I did this road in August 2011 and was somewhat disappointed since it was only near the water in a couple of places. You can take side trips to the lookouts, etc. though. If you really want to see Pictured Rocks Seashore take the sightseeing boat out of Munising (very nice). Munsing has restaurants, bars, gas and hotels if needed. Gran Marais has a few.

What a beautiful ride with pretty smooth roads. Gentle turns, some sections more narrow then others, but was worth the ride. Was described to us as the “Tunnel of trees on steroids”. I’d recommend going back during the fall to get even more out of it.
