This site allows for a contrasting comparison of beaches with higher and lower energy windward and lee of 7 Mile Point, to see the differences in grain size of sediments deposited there.
It also allows access to the lavas of the Lake Shore Traps, showing a variety of lava flow features and amygdaloid mineralizations.
Park in the North Woods Conservancy parking lot and follow the marked trail to the beach. Then walk west and/or east, as needed. Respect private land.
