At Agawa Rock, near the mouth of the Agawa River, there are pictographs created by the early Ojibwe people of this region. The figures are painted on the rock with a mixture of powdered hematite and animal fats and are estimated to be 150–400 years old. The records are visual representations of historical events and legendary figures. A short trail leads to the pictographs, which are on a sheer rock face on Lake Superior. Several of the pictographs can be seen only from the water.
A spectacular sand beach set against the backdrop of a 200m high cliff, said to represent the Old Woman's face. Picnic tables and composting toilets available. The Nokomis hiking trail departs from the opposite side of the highway.
Secluded scenic cove with a sandy beach and picnic area. Vault toilets. Nearby is Bathtub Island, so named because of the indentation in the rock that forms a natural pool.
A roadside motel 30 min south of the park that has been stylishly renovated in 2021-22 high-end mattresses, and Netflix on the TV. Fridge and coffeemaker in room. Restaurant to open in June 2022.
152 campsites. There are two comfort stations in the campground equipped with showers, laundry facilities and flush toilets. All the campsites are within walking distance to Lake Superior. There is a premium for campsites beside the beach. Permits are obtained at the Agawa Bay gatehouse. Firewood and ice is available for purchase at the Agawa Bay gatehouse.
60 campsites. There is one comfort station in the campground equipped with showers, laundry facilities and flush toilets. Firewood and ice can be purchased at the Rabbit Blanket gatehouse or the park office.
