Rock Harbor Lighthouse

After visiting the historic Edisen fishery, we took a quarter-mile walk to the oldest lighthouse (1855) on Isle Royale. We were able to climb the old spiral staircase to the top and enjoy an amazing view!







Trivia:
Isle Royale was designated as a Biosphere Reserve on February 17, 1981. It is part of a program designed to protect examples of the different ecosystems of the world and to encourage research. It was chosen for its unspoiled nature and represents the northern lake forest biome.
