An Act to establish in the State of Michigan the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and for other purposes.
October 15, 1966
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is America's first National Lakeshore. Three other national lakeshores were authorized in subsequent years.
On the same day, President Lyndon B. Johnson also signed into law another piece of landmark legislation -- the National Historic Preservation Act.
On October 6, 1972, ceremonies in Munising marked the establishment of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. To symbolically link the park's two gateway communities of Munising and Grand Marais, water and sand was poured from two glass containers into a third. Establishment of a National Park follows the acquisition of acreage within the park boundary.
