Travel Guide

Occasionally if it gets cold enough for long enough, beautiful blue ice will pile up beneath the lighthouse making for an otherworldly landscape. #snow
The oldest lighthouse in continuous operation in the Great Lakes, it's an iconic landmark that's a must see for anyone visiting the Lake Erie Shores & Islands region of Ohio. Open to the public, you can climb to the top as well during restricted hours.
