There are a total of two towers on the island, which provides a great view of the island. They were originally built to watch for fires on the island, but with the decision to let a fire burn if one starts, these are now used to house a few weather observation gadgets.


The Tower


Sunset from the tower. Looking towards Canada.

Sorry, but you can't get all the way to the top, but most of the way. My grandpa worked on these towers, and wrote a book about it. You can find it on the mainland, or at the Rock Harbor visitors center.

Terrain is based on the location. Takes time to get to it.

Height of Look-Out Tower in feet: 45.00

Difficulty:

Opening times and fees:
Open 24 hours, April 16 - October 31 (every year). Tower is sporadically manned and may not be open.

Parking Area: Not Listed
