Description of Park
Rock carvings, known as petroglyphs, etched into a sandstone outcrop are a mystery. Yet they give us a glimpse into the lives of early Native American artists.

Within the 240 acre parcel historic site are the Sanilac Petroglyphs. Michigan's only known rock carvings attributed to Native American workmanship in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The park will have an Open House on June 20. Click here to view the event description.
