It encompasses about 71,000 acres of land and water, with rugged cliffs, sweeping dunes, and pristine beaches. The park is rich in history and culture, from the indigenous people who once inhabited the area to the 19th-century shipwrecks lying offshore. Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to the park's diverse recreational opportunities, such as hiking, kayaking, and camping. Notable landmarks include the 200-foot sandstone cliffs at Miner’s Castle, the striking natural arch of Lover's Leap, and the historic Au Sable Light Station.
