Description
Eagle Harbor Lighthouse is spectacular as it sits on the cliffs high above Lake Superior. We were lucky to visit on a lovely summer day. It was exciting watching the waves as they splashed against the outcropping of rocks.
The red brick Eagle Harbor Light Station sits on the rocky entrance to the harbor and is a working lighthouse as it guides mariners across the northern edge of the Keweenaw Peninsula. The original lighthouse, built in 1851, was replaced in 1871. The octagonal brick light tower is ten feet in diameter, with walls 12 inches thick and it supports a 10-sided cast iron lantern. The Lighthouse was manned by a head keeper and two assistant keepers.
