Have stopped here twice with different groups of people. If you are up for the steep staircase, it is a nice view & gives you a "king of the world" experience. Worth the stop for a memorable experience.

Best value for your money. Cheapest tourist trap in the area. They give you a free sticker when you climb the rock. Been in business for over 80 years. Friendly employees with lots of information About the area and Castle Rock.

If you are going to be anywhere in this area, this is a must do! It is only $1 to climb to the top! The views were amazing. We probably only spent 30-40 minutes here, but it was a memorable stop. Easy to get to once you pass over the bridge. Parts of the stairs are getting a little worn.... More

Lots of climbing! Be prepared to have tired legs by the time you are done. The steps and trail are getting a little worn. Care should be taken in watching your step. If looking for a fun way to work off all the fudge that has been eaten... this is it!!!

nice view from the top but requires some effort. Inexpensive. Easy to get to from the Mackinac bridge or from Sault ste Marie.

The view from Castle Rock is spectacular, and the walk up is great exercise. This has to be one of the best tourist deals in the UP!!
