Whitefish Point remains one of the most dangerous shipping areas in the Great Lakes, Known as the graveyard of the Great Lakes, more vessels have been lost in the Whitefish Point area than any other part of Lake Superior.
The Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve protects the shipwrecks in a portion of the bay for future generations of sports divers.
The Point is a popular place for rock collectors, ship watchers, and bird watching. Whitefish Point's land and water provides a natural corridor for birds that makes it a migratory route of world significance.It is a designated Important Bird Area where the Whitefish Point Bird Observatory conducts important research.
