Share this Page
Perched on a cliff overlooking Lake Superior, Split Rock Lighthouse is a captivating sight and one of the most photographed lighthouses in the United States. Built in 1910 to guide ships through perilous waters, it’s now a highlight of the Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. For a fee, visitors can take guided tours of this historic landmark, including the lighthouse and the keeper’s home. Guided by staff dressed in period attire, these tours offer a window into the daily life of the 1920s, enhancing the location’s appeal to photographers drawn to both historical and landscape subjects. The rugged cliffside setting and the red-roofed lighthouse provide a striking contrast against Lake Superior’s vast expanse, offering countless photographic opportunities, from capturing the lighthouse at sunrise or sunset to shooting during a storm or in serene calm.
