Darrin Spoon

This is a lovely lighthouse in a glorious setting. It was closed for lack of staff to serve the gift shop. Bummer

Renee Prisble

Beautiful Lighthouse, climb to the top of the lighthouse and look out over Lake Superior. Living quarters left as the last operator of the lighthouse may have left it. The caretakers are very interesting to speak with and quite knowledgeable of the working if the lighthouse and different artifacts contained in the miseum. Tip: Ask the caretaker to play his fiddle. Just a Wonderful experience.

David Clark

david smith

Katie D.

Great place to explore!!

Sam R

This is a lighthouse that we stop at every summer and walk down to the beach for a while and see the view of the freighters going out in to Lake Gitchegumee aka Lake Superior. The largest fresh water lake in the state, country, and the world's largest freshwater lake by surface area. 350 mile long and 160 miles wide. It is larger the 12 of our states.

Amazing!!!!!

Monica Garrow

This is a very pretty and peaceful area to hang out at. It is free to visit the beach and relatively quiet compared to a lot of other areas. The lighthouse was closed, I don't know if you are ever allowed to go up inside it. But the beach …

Nicholas glenetski

Beautiful lighthouse definitely worth the drive. It is paved all the way to the lighthouse and there are nice walking trails / boardwalks, this is handicap accessible.

Laura Anne

Lovely lighthouse with exhibitions, with a nature walk and nice beach.

Linze Willette

Loved it here! Beautiful!

Tracy Vance

I did not go into the lighthouse but I have several views of the lightouse and waterways. Nice, tranquil views and capable of walking on the pebbled sandy lake. You may pick rocks but highly not recommended. Skip them across the water and enjoy the cool lake waves.

AMANDA BURL

Just a nice stop along the scenic byway. The lighthouse is closed but you can still tour the grounds and walk the beach along Lake Superior. We enjoyed the opportunity to get out of the car and walk in an interesting area.

Renee Armstrong

Awesome place not a place to miss won't be disappointed.

Albert Bouldin

The Iroquois Lighthouse area is a very nice historical place to visit. There is a nice boardwalk along the water and through the woods. You can also go up into the Iroquois Point Lighthouse as no charge, and get some very nice views. Many times when I have been there, you can also pick blueberries right near the boardwalk area. There are also restrooms there, which are maintained and clean. A great place to go in the warm weather months, have not ventured out there in the winter time.

Jason Boedigheimer

Very well maintained and scenic area right off scenic bi-way.

Chris Johnson

Beautiful place to see. Walk along the lake shore was great Light house was closed when I was there. Would deff go back to see it again

Mary KippRoth

Beautiful!

AnJie Havens

The grounds are nice and the beach is accessible. However the inside is still closed "due to Covid" even though Michigan was completely open this summer. So I was pretty disappointed that we didn't get to go in to see the museum area or the actual lighthouse itself.

Jackie Newhouse

Very interesting (but small) history museum and sample of what the keepers life was like. On beautiful Lake Superior shore. Paths down to the water for nice little hikes

The boardwalk along the shore is easily accessible and is a quiet leisurely walk through the dunes. Beautiful setting.

There is no cost to visit this lighthouse museum, or even climb the steep 72 steps up to the top of the lighthouse. There is a boardwalk that will take you all around the area. There is a nice beach at the Lake Superior lighthouse. Peaceful.

Very relaxing atmosphere, great views of Lake Superior and all the freighters going by.

Daniel Snow

Amazingly beautiful spot. Went for the beach and the rocks. SWIMMERS BEWARE: The following is copied from the internet but my daughter and I both ended up with it at Point Iroquois Lighthouse beach. There are no signs posted. Swimmer’s itch has been detected in people swimming in the surface waters of Lake Superior in areas in Waiska Bay in Superior Township, near Bay Mills Township and in Whitefish Bay, west of Naomikong Point, Bay Mills Township, near Whitefish Township, Michigan. Swimmer’s itch, also called cercarial dermatitis.

thomas kaminski

Good little rest area to stop at as well little gift shop great view of the St Mary's River

Loved the view from the top of the lighthouse! The stairs were tricky to navigate with three small children but it was well worth it when we saw the view. The museum is interesting and the boardwalk takes you to the beautiful shore of Lake Superior.

Wayne Geiser

A wonderful quick stop on the way to Paradise, Michigan

Chris Klemm

First time back in a couple years. One of the first places I wanted to visit. Lovely rocky beaches and views.

Pete Stapley

Really beautiful area. We missed business hours for the museum, but I'm sure that would have been fun too.

The Rev

We had a great visit. Well worth the trip. They have a small path that runs down by the water. Well worth the time. Lighthouse views are awesome. Take the time to do the self guided tour. Enjoy your visit.

Beautiful grounds! I love that there is a boardwalk along the water here. Perfect place to take a break while driving around Whitefish Bay! The keepers were so friendly. We love looking g at the lighthouse artifacts!

Robert Carrier

Wonderful little spot, you can stop by for a few minutes or an hour and either works. The towers free to climb, though a bit cramped and hot up top. Walk out to the beach afterwards for some beautiful flowers and good view of the only passage connecting Superior to the other Great Lakes.

MJ Bishop

Pretty area.

Sami McAtee

It was very pretty but closed. The fish flies were horrible...lol. Reminded us of our honeymoon.

Andrew Wiersma

What a beautiful place to visit. It's free and runs on donations from the public. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The gift shop had some awesome deals, and the place and museum of artifacts and photos was outstanding. You can climb to the top of the now non-running lighthouse for a spectacular photo opportunity. There are facilities on site that have running water, and it also features a family restroom. There's a beautiful boardwalk that goes all the way to the Lake Superior shoreline. Take the time to stop by! It's absolutely beautiful, and you won't forget it!

I’d love to turn this lite house into a puzzle. Beautiful…

Kyle Darr

We visited on a bus tour and the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The keeper and staff were in period outfits. They made you feel more than welcome and welcome back. I would recommend it to anyone in the area that enjoys light houses and the semi-easy climb was worth the outstanding view.

Terri

A calm and serene place to observe lake superior from.

Jeff Basista

Nice well kept grounds. It was closed when we visited. They had a nice deck walking area

James A. “Jim” Sturgill

Wow! An amazing lighthouse with a very nicely groomed walking path and a bunch of billboards that explain the area and functions of the lighthouse. They had boats off in the distance that seemed to be docked there all the time! The beach had a plethora of rocks that were begging to be picked!

Heather Smith

Such a beautiful area to visit! If you ever get the chance to travel be sure to add this treasure to your list!

Beth Riegel

Bathrooms locked, drinking fountain off. The only nice thing was Lake Superior

The lighthouse was lovely, and the grounds were very well maintained. Unfortunately the little museum was closed due to Covid19, so we weren't able to see any of the items on display inside. But the nearby beach was great for rock picking - very beautiful stones, and we'll definitely be back when the pandemic is over to check out the inside of the lighthouse.

Denise Crapse

BEAUTIFUL!

Aimee Lim

This historic lighthouse is easily accessible off W. Lakeshore Drive just west of Brimley, Michigan. A lovely boardwalk takes visitors to the beach, which is mostly sandy and partly rocky. There are benches for sitting and capturing the stunning views of Lake Superior, Canada, and passing freighters. The lighthouse itself is not open at this time, but when it is open, guests can walk up the spiral staircase inside the 65-foot tower for some spectacular views. Parking is located right on-site. Be prepared for breezes sweeping in off the water!

Steve McIntyre

Great other than couldn't go up in lighthouse

Jeremy Luedtke

Very pretty location, and scenic area.

Evelyn Jenkins

Loved it even though they were in the process of putting a new coat of paint on the buildings the little park and beach access boardwalk were open and it was a nice little walking area and the lighthouse was still cool to see. Also a lot of there plantings and flowers were still blooming.

Diana Thurston

Wasn't able to get in the lighthouse itself or facilities due to Covid, but it's a grand old building on a beautiful point of Lake Superior. Nice boardwalk along the shore.

Mary Marshall

The "house" portion was closed when we arrived, but the Tower was open to climb & see the view (72 steps up). There was a great boardwalk to beach & info billboards along it. There was a large bathroom building @ opposite side of parking lot. Major plus when U.P. exploring.

Sarah Hillman

Beautiful lighthouse! We took a quick trip over here while staying in Sault St Marie, and spent some time looking at the buildings and walking the beach. Nothing's open because of the pandemic, but there was enough to see outside, even in somewhat poor weather, that we were glad we went.

Crater Jones

Been going since I was a kid. Now I'm taking my family!

Richard Smith

The caretaker's were outside playing the fidde and dulcimer when we arrived. They were very kind and gave us a brief explanation of the tower, living quarters and the school that was erected nearby. We climbed the tower, and explored the beach. It was great and I highly recommend visiting it and the Dancing Crane Coffee shop down the road!

Kathleen Lengyel-Sugajski

Beautiful historic lighthouse surrounded by a gorgeous view. Has a rocky and sandy beach with beautiful views.

William Dowell

Met the caretaker. Very nice person.

Matthew Allen

Awesome lighthouse. It's well-maintained and provides a great family-friendly, accessible stop to learn about the history of Whitefish Bay and the Great Lakes. The Forest Service staff that run the lighthouse are friendly and helpful. Put a few dollars in the donation box if you can. It'll help them out, and many of the features of this location are free to access. We visited on the last open weekend in mid-October, and despite wet, cold, and windy conditions, it was a beautiful spot.

Jack Rau

Amanda Tatara

The lighthouse was very cool! Lots of information and historical pieces. But the BEST part of this place is the beach!!! Absolutely gorgeous, and the warmest water we've found in the area. But BRING WATER SHOES! The beach and water are full of rocks. We had fun looking for "Yooperlite" rocks after dark as well. Great family place, and OPEN RESTROOMS!!!

Bruce W Beaudoin

Great views. It was raining and the lighthouse was closed so we didnt get the full effect it is a beautiful area though and will be back to do the beach combing,lighthouse and trails

Rob S

Cool place to visit, unsure if it's open during covid, but we stopped to pick and search for rocks along the shoreline. Picked over, but still fun looking. We did get in last year and the tour was well worth taking, very informative and the artifacts in the lighthouse was phenomenal to see how the keepers lived when they manned the station. We were able to climb the tower and the views were definitely scenic. A must go when in the Soo area.

Jessica Mosier

Reservation recommended

Very nice lighthouse. Undergoing some renovations to the building. The light and museum are closed due to covid/staff shortage, but wonderful hiking paths to the beach for photo ops and wading. Stay to see freighters pass between you and Canada. Visit the town of Brimley/Bay Mills, and visit the yooperlite store to speak to the infamous Erik.

Tristan Stevens-King

This place was great to visit and learn about some history of Michigan. The climb up the lighthouse gives you a little workout,but I needed it. You won't regret going to visit this place.

Nice spot on Lake Superior.

Very nice lighthouse. I believe it was the very first lighthouse in Michigan. Inside find a small gift shop and a lot of history on display as you learn about this historic structure. Outdoors find a beautiful walkway and beach area with benches. Stop and enjoy the beautiful lake, wildlife, and shaded views.

Gorgeous!!! Large parking lot for any size rig, nicely maintained bathrooms, and wonderful boardwalks thru woods to the beach.

Paul Mielke

Such an awesome stop on the Whitefish Pointe Biway ????????

Very cool place to visit with outstanding views and beach.

Kim Hefelfinger

Very beautiful spot. It has the lake around 3 sides, and the view from the light tower is amazing! The public (flush) toilets are freshly cleaned every day. Flower gardens, book nook and museum.

Ange Wright

This was a wonderful place to stop for a bathroom break when we were traveling. The kids, age 11 to 18, enjoyed it also! It's just beautiful here and the ramp down to the water is helpful for the handicap people. Thanks for taking such good care of the lighthouse and surrounding areas!

Bill Heil

Beutiful lighthouse and residence which is closed. We walked the beach and boardwalk.

Will come back after pandemic. Nice view of lake.

Pat Geasler

Like rock hunting on the beach, Lighthouse is Awesome

Kim Buschelman

Grounds and trails are beautiful. Unfortunately the lighthouse it self is not currently open to the public

Laurel SmithRadomski

The building itself was closed to visitors (unsure if that's due to COVID or being too early in the season) but the boardwalk was beautiful and the beach/shoreline, while still mostly covered in snow, was beautiful.

Melissa Owensby

Beautiful, dramatic location. Well kept buildings and grounds. Nice walkway to the lake. Lighthouse keeper present. Highly recommend this site.

Kathy Fee

We weren't able to go into the museum as it didn't open for another 1/2 hour when we visited. The 1950's exhibit was OK, but it was fun to climb to the top of the light tower.

Sarah W

A great piece of Michigan lighthouse history.

Tera Raab

Very nice lighthouse. Also, FYI, you can't just show up here and have an impromptu wedding - that's just not allowed.

Rich Raab

Good but was somewhat disappointed it wasn't open. I understand things due to covid

Bob Kelley

Great nice lighthouse with a short nice trail and a nice beach. Must see if in the area or driving by.

Sarah McGrath

I love this place in winter and spring, can't wait to see the other seasons!

Laura Gingerich

Very nice slice of great lakes shipping history. The staff was awesome, the gentleman working was very informative and kind with my kids. The young lady working the front was super generous with my children and they were super happy because of it.

Kisha Decker

Lots of history worth a visit great views

Walter Tucker

Loved walking the beach, except the lighthouse was closed:(

Glenn Schwenk

I have visited this lighthouse since I was a little girl! Love this lighthouse, love the waterfront with lots of cool rocks! Great place for a rock hound.

David Derscheid

Make time to walk to the beach via the boardwalk. Restrooms and water available.

James Fort

Overall probably the best choice if you could only visit one Lighthouse Station in the UP of Michigan. Easy access off main highway. Adequate parking. Nearby clean restrooms. Very good educational & informative displays on the grounds. Two boardwalks leading from the grounds out to the rocky shoreline of Lake Superior & back around to the lakeside facade of the lighthouse station. Beautiful stately structure and classic design. Current health and safety guidelines have kept the interior displays and tour closed for the season. For photography buffs their are multiple spots for postcard images.

beat shona

Was absolutely amazing. So Beautiful. The wife loved it. The grounds were kept very clean.

John Behrens

Wait time

Kim Hough

Came here especially for the auroras and it was an amazing Spot.

George Lincoln

Loved how they had history on the light house

Sherry “Readersitter”

Lighthouse was closed due to the pandemic but the grounds and lakefront were excellent! Great view of Canada.

Joseph Klaes

Lighthouse was nice, but is indefinitely closed along with the gift shop. Beach near by was decent.

Don Moler

Beautiful Historical lighthouse on the shore of Lake Superior in Brimley, MI. Always make a point to stop a few times a summer and in the fall. Its a great place to check out our rocky beaches and enjoy the beauty of Lake Superior.

John Garrod

Nice place to pick rocks

Laura Bragg

Beach super rocky. And the couldn't go into the lighthouse

Jeanne Mokrzycki

Closed due to COVID-19 Variant that's what the signs say. You can still walk around the Lighthouse and down to the Beach.

Dee Ramos

Just beautiful.

Christina Coghill

The view is breathtaking. The bathroom had no toilet paper. Nice little boardwalk that takes you right out to lake Superior.

Jace's toys

Beautiful view! Beautiful lighthouse! Definitely worth the drive.

Kay Wes

It is beautiful and the caretakers are very nice will be going back there

Kathi Gyuran

Beautiful!!! ????

Christine Irwin

I find it amazing the museum and light station are open to public and free. Our daughter loved climbing the stairs to the light, as well as the boardwalks out to the lake and shore. The staff member working in the museum was awesome, really nice to our daughter. Ample parking for large trucks and trailers, but there aren't a bunch of spaces for this.

Jo Person

A nice scenic area. The view from the the top of the lighthouse was beautiful. It's a nice little hidden gem of lighthouses.

eliz_sherry van-read

Beautiful spot to stop and stretch your legs! When you do--PICK UP YOUR TRASH. Thank you!!!!

Mandy Daniels

Beautiful stone fence around the garden, great boardwalk views and a rest room that is open 24/7. The lighthouse was closed while we were there so we were not able to go inside. Renovations were being made.

Rick Milton

I will get to see the view from the tower at some point. It is currently closed due to Covid. Chilly day, but the views were amazing. I couldn't believe how many flowers are still blooming.

Adam LaVallee

This place is beautiful. And the current park hosts do a fantastic job with upkeep.

Alberta Engel

Very well kept. Lots of shipwreck history.

Music IsGreat

Very nice. Will visit again. Clean.

Roy Mealer

Definitely worth the short drive outside of Sault Ste Marie! The lighthouse itself is awesome and you can go up into the tower. There is a museum in it and small gift area also. The beach is great and easily accessible. There are smooth …

Geof Vallier

Beautiful area. Exhibits and lighthouse were closed because of Covid. Have been there before and climbed to the top of the lighthouse! Beautiful view! Exhibits at that time were also nice and a small gift shop.

Jeremy Thorstein

Very picturesque place. The history is interesting. The property seems to be well kept. You can climb the stairs in the tower. Nice parking lot.

Melissa Blumberg

I love this lighthouse. The boardwalk is easy to do and handicap accessible. You can also quite often see the freighters go by on the way to the Soo Locks.

Mike Maier

Great view!

Laura Nicholls

Great spot to sight see ships passing by and to collect colorful rocks.

Geoffrey Kemp

Loved it beautiful spot close to home

Julie Albring

Wonderful winter location for a visit. Sadly closed bit still plenty to see...

Dave Gurski

Beautiful. That is enough said ????

Kandy Garrett

This is one of my favorite lighthouses.

Dawn Luken

My husband and I were there in 2018. We use to visit every year. But he has been fighting stage 4 Cancer since October 2016. We sat in our camping chairs with umbrellas for hours. We felt like we were on top of the world. It was so relaxing for him, he enjoyed every minute.

Laura Roberts

Very nice view and great spot to visit.

David Gregory

Nice beach with rocks and sandy areas. Watch the sunset and seen a few people looking for glowing rockbat night.

Jeff Berry

The lighthouse and museum were closed to the public due to Coronavirus. The only restroom that was open was a family restroom that desperately needed cleaning, but it was better than squatting in the woods.

Elizabeth Fehring

As a member of the Lighthouses of the World and Lighthouses of the USA groups on Facebook, this place was a must see opportunity while in the area. It is about a twenty five to thirty minute drive from Sault Ste Marie. It is a very nice lighthouse, but unfortunately, it was undergoing renovations while we were there so you could not go inside. There is a nice little boardwalk that you can walk on to the beach and back but that's about it until the renovations are complete. Just as an extra note... There is a small building next to the road on the way back to Sault Ste Marie not too long after you pass the casino that has a produce for sale sign. Stop if you want some great produce! This is Amish and there are handmade baskets, produce and canned for sale that are really astounding.

Amy Gardner

Its beautiful the Scenery the lake everything the light house keeper is very friendly

Jeffrey-Michael Kane

Beautiful place. Closed due to covid 19

Cheryl Wiggins

Cool lighthouse and boardwalk. You can see the ruins of an old dock and old lighthouse. Nice place to stop. Museum located inside lighthouse as well

Kristina Johnson

Fun stop if your a history buff or a lighthouse lover. Great view from the top of the lighthouse which is free to climb. This is an old structure and therefore no ADA accessibility to the museum or tower view. Plenty of paved paths around the building though.

D Salik

Nice visit, closed due to covid though

Dobby Everts

Beautiful light house on Lake Superior. Due to labor shortage, unable to enter. Enjoyed what we could.

Kelly Krueger

Majestic light in a tranquil setting. Tour the dwelling and tower, walk the grounds, check out the boardwalk and beach. I could have stayed here all day!

Karen Hammond

Beautiful setting, nice board walk

Kathy K.

Love the walls around it. Worth stopping.

P.trainman1957 Smith

Very Cool Place. Easy on and easy off the roadway. Quick access to Lake Superior with a decent boardwalk.

Jay Manger

Beautiful!! Lake Superior ❤

Edward Summerson

Beautiful lighthouse definitely a must see if you love lighthouses!

Beautiful view of the entrance to St Mary's river and out into Whitefish Bay. Lighthouse grounds are clean, ample parking, and pleasant setting.

Lawrence Thompson

The lighthouse was closed for the season when we were there but still enjoyed the beautiful grounds and the beach.

Lori Shafer

Was closed when we went. Nice area tho.

Trudy Hudson

Absolutely beautiful view of the water and the board walk is very relaxing

David Schmidt

Pretty cool by history...too bad it is closed indefinitely.

Martha Sharpe

We didn't go in, but the boardwalk was lovely, wide enough to be wheelchair accessible with plenty of benches along the way.

Sheri Tyndal

A beautiful gem in the eastern U.P., you can still walk up the lighthouse tower and see an amazing view. The beach is also gorgeous. Highly recommend stopping to visit in the summer. Note, the lighthouse is closed on Mondays.

kevin smith

The gift shop and tower are closed indefinitely; however, the grounds and beach were open, so still a good day!

James Drews

It was great you could text Lee going to the lighthouse they have a 50s Museum it was really cool

Marijane Miller

Worth the trip! Beautiful, old lighthouse. Didn't get to take the tour cause we were outside of the hours, but pretty nevertheless.

Paula Boulton

I love stopping here at this historic lighthouse. There are great views of Canada, the St. Mary's river mouth, and Ships going past at times. You can visit inside the museum and learn the history of the light, and climb up to the light itself. There are restrooms at the edge of the Parking lot and you can walk down to the water, using a boardwalk. Great place! Definitely should be seen.

Nolan Richhart

Beautiful lighthouse on Lake Superior, west of Brimley.

Kathy Rodgers

Serene and quiet.

Rhonda Calvert

The area around the lighthouse was nice. The lighthouse is closed indefinitely. It was still nice to stop and take a few pictures and read the educational signage.

Stacy Massaway

Beautiful lighthouse with museum. Beach is quite nice, though is the water near shore is quite rocky. Very nice view. Highly recommended for lighthouse and rock hounds.

Nick Garlinghouse

Wasn't open due to covid, but nice beach , pretty lighthouse, and veiw

Ed McVeigh (ace427)

Was COVID closed but beautiful place to see a sunset on Superior

Absolutely love this lighthouse!! And the best part, for me, is the wood boardwalk! I use a wheelchair and it is amazing being able to get to the beach, wind through the woods and just get to places I normally wouldn't. Thank you Michigan!!

Jon Gardner

Was closed the day we went but such a beautiful bldg and grounds.

Alex Wood

Absolutely wonderful place to visit and it's free! I love the way it's all set up with history and pictures and even a boardwalk. Perfect!

Lake Superior beautiful area. And we even had a family wedding here many years ago.

Beautiful spot to roam the grounds and catch a little lighthouse history. Boardwalks and benches near the shore; lovely view of the lake.

Dennis Slagel

Beautiful lighthouse and scenery! Our kids had fun playing on the beach and we all enjoyed swimming in the crystal clear water. It was Heaven on Earth!

sue lantz

A wonderful place anytime of the year, it was great to see it amid all the beautiful fall colors. The museum and climbing the lighthouse tower is free and there is small area to play in water. There is also a small board walk to walk around the lighthouse if you are into that!

Brent Walkinhood

You can go up in this lighthouse. One to see, nice with a few very short walks too.

Vicki Reissig

nice beach.

Robin Pokornowski

nice lighthouse with easy access.

Mickey Swart

Beautiful lighthouse, and a great historical marker. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 and it's new variants, the U.S. department the interior has made the decision to close the lighthouse "indefinitely". Though we were told that the lighthouse will eventually reopen again some day, there are no expectations of reopening any time soon. The lighthouse itself, however, is currently under active restoration work, and the walking paths and trails there are all still open for exploring.

Diana Hitchcock

Lighthouse, beach, park, broadwalk--- all is available here with a touch of history. Ample parking, just a hidden place to wind down ,collect some sand on your feet while kids collect some memories on beach splashes

Carol Wonsowski

Beautiful place to visit!

Collen Bayne

Great view of Bay Mills. Can catch freighters going by.

Priscilla Szerdi

Not super exciting, but it's free and they take donations. Beautiful beach area! The museum is very small.

Kirk Miner

Beautiful but lots of biting flies today!

Fred Stark

Beautiful beach, wonderful handicap access! My mom was able to ride her scooter all the way to the sand. Found my first agate!

Michael Noble

Views were great

Tony Shaw

Went out of season. We were able to walk around but, bathroom was closed and so was the lighthouse. To be expected out of season.
