About the employer
Pictured Rocks is part of Pictured Rock Resort and is located in Grand Marais, Michigan, a very small beach town on Lake Superior, the world's largest freshwater lake, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Local activities include the beach, swimming, kayaking, boating, fishing and lots of hiking and nature.
The town is small and remote, without many city conveniences: a few restaurants, gift shops, a gas station and a hardware store, and grocery shopping can be tough. That quiet, remote atmosphere is exactly why tourists come. A summer here suits you if you enjoy nature and a slower pace.
