Falcon Cove

Welcome to Falcon Cove. It is a hidden gem at Pictured Rocks where Peregrine Falcons nest and hunt. These birds can dive at over 200 mph, and if you’re lucky, you might spot one mid-dive on the Taste of the Rocks, Paddler’s Choice, or Paddle & Hike Tour. Bonus: you can paddle into a few small caves with glowing turquoise waters!

The cliffs of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore aren’t just stunning. They’re also prime real estate for Peregrine Falcons. These birds of prey are drawn to the rugged landscape and dense vegetation, which offer ideal nesting spots and a steady food supply.

Peregrine Falcons are famous for their high-speed dives, reaching over 200 miles per hour when hunting. If you’re out on the water. Especially on tours like Taste of the Rocks tour, the Paddler’s Choice, or the Paddle and Hike Tour—keep an eye on the skies.

Beyond the birds, this cove features smaller caves and surreal turquoise waters that are perfect for kayaking. It’s a unique blend of adventure and wildlife, all in one unforgettable experience.
