There are so many natural wonders waiting to be explored in Minnesota. From the Niagara Cave in southern Minnesota all the way to the Boundary Waters in the north, our state is full of incredible beauty. Some of it, though, takes beauty to a whole other level. Not far from the Lake Superior Shore, a rock formation known as Hollow Rock does just that.
Hollow Rock is a stunning natural arch in Lake Superior, just off the shore in Grand Marais.
