Pillow Rock — photo spot in 1305 E Main St, Ely, MN 55731, USA
Pillow Rock
Pillow Rock on the shore near Ely showcases ancient, rounded “pillow” lava formations—ideal for textured close-ups and dramatic water/rock edge compositions. Best light is late afternoon through sunset for warm tones and glancing shadows; morning can be misty with softer contrast. Usually no entry fees; arrive by car and park near nearby roadside pull-offs, then walk carefully along uneven, possibly slick shoreline.
