Quaint story. Good history. Great Lake lighthouses played an important role in our development as a state.
Please join us again to see Phase II of our restoration project and landscape renovation. We will be restoring the oil house, the barn, and the keeper's house. Thank you for your review!

Cool Lighthouse. Seems like I've seen it before. Or maybe it looks like the rest. I'm not sure anymore. But they did have a cool beach near by.
Great to hear you enjoyed your visit! Cana Island Light Station is one of those really unique places. It is fun to imagine what it must have been like for the lighthouse keeper and family to live at this remote little outpost.

Went to the lighthouse and the views were wonderful...construction crew was there doing upkeep on the lighthouse....something nice to do....but it cost more than it should and I know the cost helps with repairs....got a little souveniors shop in the bottom of the lighthouse too
Thank you for your review! We are looking to have this part of the construction phase done by May 15. Then the lighthouse store will be open. We are excited to be able to showcase new merchandise as well as allow visitors to climb the tower and see the best view in Door County!

Every time we visit Door County we stop at the Cana Island Lighthouse. Sometimes the water is high, sometimes the water is low and sometimes the water is FROZEN! Do you geocache? This was one of our FAVORITE geocache finds EVER!
We are thrilled that you enjoy several visits a year to Cana Island Lighthouse. We don't geocache at the moment but I will surely look into it soon. Thank you for your positive and clever review!

The trip to the lighthouse was informative and fun. It was within walking distance of Baileys Harbor Yacht Club Resort, which is the best place to stay in the Door, and we loved every minute we were in the area.
Thanks for the positive review...great to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Cana Island Lighthouse. It is an amazing time to climb the light tower and experience the views as well as get a peak at the historic Fresnel lens manufactured in France in the 1860s.

This should be a must stop for people visiting Door County. The museum has great info! Stop in there before going up to the top.
Oh and bring cash or a check as they don't take cards at the entrance.
Beautiful views!

Nice place to visit and great place for pictures. Be sure to walk down to the lake and shore. Great history and if you are willing to take the hike up the stairs to to the top do so!! Was windy at the top but those who went up said it was worth it.

It's fun to imagine what it must have...

Took a second trip to the light house. It's worth the price to climb to the top. The view is fantastic. It's got a lot of history and great storyboards and things to look at describing what life was like at the light house. It's also worth walking the grounds and heading to the shore in front of the light...

We always enjoy hearing from return visitors...welcome back! Thanks for the great review. Hope you can stop back by in the not too distant future to see the lighthouse after the exterior restoration is finished this fall...believe you'll be impressed!
