rock island lighthouse

We went on this tour to the Lighthouse as there was nothing else to do on Rock Harbor. You get to the Edisen Fishery dock, then less than a 10 minute walk thru the woods to the Lighthouse. That part was nice. It was a nice Lighthouse, small, and nice collection of old stuff in the first floor rooms. You could go to the top of it, but it was a little dangerous climbing up steps, then the step ladder without handrails. Nice little view...but just that, nice. It was only $35 for both the Fishery, Lighthouse and the giant moose head/antler collection we also saw there. No too bad.

really enjoyed the boat tour (arrangements made through the Rock Harbor Lodge) to this lighthouse. there is a short (one mile?) but rugged hike to the lighthouse- which is fairly neglected- not well maintained like so many of the other lighthouses in this area) but the tour was well worth it anyway. the hike was gorgeous- as all the hikes on the Island are- and if you do not have your own boat, I highly recommend taking the opportunity that this tour offers.
