A beautiful view! It seems very isolated and not heavily visited. Parking was plentiful and free. Each overlook had a bathroom. Don’t miss the Indian burial grounds. It was also free to go here. I wish I had spent more time here.

Beautiful view of Lake Superior between the shoals.its very difficult to get out to the actual lighthouse though. the sidewalk path ends, leaving you to jump from rock to rock for a good half mile or more. definitely not accessible by wheelchair, stroller or other mobility aid.

Very cool with great views. The walk to the Lighthouse is across large boulders and could be very difficult if you struggle with balance so be careful. Gorgeous winding road through woods to get to the Lighthouse.

This is a lighthouse for adventures and homeless people. At land there is really nice parking, a functional bathroom and a decent beach. To get to the lighthouse however, you need to hike across a few hundred feet of large rocks, which is fun to be perfectly honest, but it isnt what I expected. There are remnants of what looks to be walkway anchors and there are blankets in small caves for homeless people, which isnt a big deal to the average visitor. The lighthouse itself looks better from a distance, because when you get up close you see nothing but broken glass and graffiti. However the views are definitely worth it, as you can see the island from the northern end, and you get a pretty good view of Duluth as well lake Superior itself. For a place that is over 100 years old, its still holding up well enough to be worth seeing.

This is a fantastic area, with great views, primarily about the lighthouse: from close, or far, you can see it quite clear. If youre able, and feel intrepid, and the weather is not inclimate you can travel across the rocks and visit the lighthouse exterior safely! From there you have some fantastic all around views of the taconite (iron) ore docks and the portals for Superior into Lake Superior! You also have a great view of the beach area, and various boats and water activities, and sometimes some great cloud peeping.*Please do not try to scale out on the rocks during winter time, it would be extremely trying, and possible you could bring harm to life and limb!*

Beautiful, peaceful and breezy. The rocks are a little sketchy but its part of the experience. Nothing worth seeing is easy to get to.

Dont plan on getting close if you have kids or any mobility issues. Its a dangerous walk since the walkway is gone.

Tricky walk out the lighthouse but worth the time and effort.

Better check the Lighthouse out while you can because it was sold to a tech guy from San Francisco, so you might not have many more chances to walk out to it + Wisconsin Point is the best beach in my opinion!

Well known by the locals, this is kinda a hidden gem. Its tucked away from all the busy touristy places of the Twin Ports. You wont find any stores or eateries way out here. Just peaceful views of the lake and shore and an occasional ship coming in or out.

In A Nutshell:-Wisconsin Point is cool to check out b/c it sits on Lake Superior.-There was no one there when I checked it out.-After parking, you walk about 100 yards out along the rocks and concrete deck to the lighthouse.-You wont see any crabs, but you do see millions of spiders.-So if you are afraid of spiders, I wouldnt walk to the lighthouse.Overall, its still a pretty nice view especially on a calm day w/ good weather.

We can’t say enough about the improvements that have been made along Wisconsin point! The parking areas and restrooms were so needed and the wooden walkways are great for knocking of sand... a job well done. Now let’s take good care of these places!

The water and views are beautiful. Fun to go visit a lighthouse. Can view from shore or climb out there and see it. Not for those that are not steady on their feet!

A beautiful little lighthouse nestled way out into the waters of northern Wisconsin. Not much to see but would be a great picnic spot if you dont mind walking the rocks out there! Definitely not for children but definitely anyone looking for an adventure and a nice breath of fresh air!

This is a cool area to see while in Superior. It was an easy drive 15 minutes outside of town to get to the lighthouse. Plenty of beaches and shoreline to stop and sit at along the way. Shorelines would be easy to get to for all ages young or small. However to get to this lighthouse you will have to be willing to hike 300+ yards along big boulders and rock to reach the lighthouse. My wife, my 5 year old daughter and even myself passed on this idea. Did not want to slip, roll an ankle or anything else. Could be fun walk / hike for young boys (10yrs and older) to use up some energy. Beautiful area....

Wear something wind proof. Great walk out to the lighthouse but its across rocks so shoes with good grip are essential.

As a local REALTOR, I will say I love this town no matter what...But this is one of the things I love about this area. This is probably the most photographed lighthouse, and there is a reason for it. Yes people party down there. Yes there is stuff on the beach and bonfires going. Yes the walk on the rocks is tricky and long. It is beautiful and worth every second. Enjoy what this area offers. Everything is what you make of it. Now go walk down there!

Beautiful lighthouse on a beautiful beach. The only downfall is that it seems to be quite the party spot for youth to have bonfire parties on the beach and they leave messes behind. But if you can look past that you’ll see the beauty here.

Some of the best fishing around the Duluth superior area

Review №44

Pretty disappointing hike here.I dont often discourage people from seeing places in our home state, but this one Id avoid. The photo doesnt match the cover of the Chamber of Commerce magazine. In addition, every window was broken, there were cans inside of those broken windows, and a very strong ammonia smell...Not worth the quarter mile hike across large boulders. Best seen from afar. :-(

Review №48

Probably not for the faint of heart. Be aware that the total walk from the parking lot is 1700ft and the section of boulders is over 1000ft long. Not to discourage you, but just so you are aware, it can be a bit of a walk out involving large gaps between boulders and very uneven footing. Probably not safe for kids younger than teenagers unless it is an especially calm day. Going on a windy day, you realize how exposed you are and how far of a walk it is. Because the lighthouse is straight ahead, you also never really get a good view of the whole shape.-If you want to take pictures, the Minnesota side at the end of park point probably makes more sense
