What becomes of this popular tourist destination come December? With no crowds, the North Shore's craggy coastline feels deserted and eerie compared to summer months. Cold, crashing waves leave the rocky beach with a fresh glaze of ice. And a walk through the hardwood forest feels open and bright — with no foliage to block the sun. That first winter visit can feel like an exercise in contrasts. Except for one thing: Split Rock is magnificent as always.
