Located across the road from Fort Wilkins State Park, this developed lookout is hidden from the road, but has a large parking area. A short walk brings you to an elevated lookout platform with great views of the lighthouse. Interpretive signs describe the first shipwreck on Lake Superior, which took place just a few hundred feet from where you are standing. While the lighthouse can easily be seen by the naked eye, binoculars are needed to view details.
