The Portage Lake Volcanics are generally a considerable distance inland from the northwest shore of the Keweenaw Peninsula. One of the few places where they can be viewed from the Lakeshore Drive, (highway 26), is at Jacob’s Creek just west of the Great Sand Bay. Here the creek flows over the PLV right at the shoulder of the road. The Lake Shore Traps are submerged under Lake Superior about a mile off shore.
