Where to Go Look for sandstone

 

The Jacobsville Sandstone is found all along the southern parts of the Keweenaw and also along the Superior shore to the east and west. It does not crop out in many places, but there are spectacular exposures, especially along rivers and shorelines. You could spend several whole days exploring this great red bed formation.
