Just off the Michigan coast in Lake Huron is Turnip Rock, a large
turnip-shaped rock-island. The unique shape is the result of thousands
of years of erosion by storm waves.
Twenty-foot-high trees and
other vegetation have grown at the top of the isolated rock. Just
western of the rock is the “thumbnail” (or “tip of the thumb”) rock,
which is the further point north on the "thumb" of Michigan.The around area is private, so guests can only view the rock via vessel or over the freezing lake in the winter season.
