Overnight Accommodations... Stay at Whitefish Point Light Station
|
We invite you to experience a few days along the infamous Shipwreck Coast at the oldest working Light Station on Lake Superior. Located on the shores of Lake Superior and on the bird migration path, Whitefish Point boasts of many varieties of feathered friends and of calm or stormy displays of Lake Superior's majesty!
Stroll Superior's shoreline, along the natural, agate filled beach where Native Ojibway and the first European explorers gathered nearly 400 years ago.
Experience and capture the mystery, romance and human drama of a bygone era...
Enjoy the passing ships, or watch the northern lights in an unobstructed sky with millions of stars! A wonderful four season experience of peace, quiet and solitude!
Enjoy a tour of the museum and lightkeepers quarters that is included in your stay with us at the Whitefish Point Light Station.
