Lake Superior agates
Look for translucent edges, a waxy appearance and bands of color. Half the fun is learning what catches your eye among the shoreline pebbles.

Agates by day.
A glow after dark.
Slow walks along the shoreline. A flash of color among the pebbles. The excitement of turning over a stone and finding something worth a closer look.
Rockhounding helped bring our families to the Two Hearted. Make camp your base for Lake Superior beach days, agate hunting, and a little after-dark Yooperlite magic.
A LITTLE COLOR. A LITTLE MUSIC.

Yooperlites after dark
These sodalite-bearing rocks reveal their fluorescent glow under UV light. A different way to see the shoreline, and a favorite part of our own camp story.
