The Taconite State Trail twists through the 1,300-acre park. No camping in the park, but several campgrounds are nearby. It may be the most photographed lighthouse in the country. Photo opportunities of the famous lighthouse abound from the hiking trails, picnic area, and campsites that stretch along the rockbound coast of Lake Superior. The Minnesota Historical Society administers the lighthouse station and attractive history center.
Seasonal tours are available.
Shoreline paths link the four backpack campsites and offer several overlooks of the lake. Campers load their gear in pushcarts provided by the park. You then wheel your cart down gravel trails to one of 20 well-spaced, secluded campsites along the shore and in the forest. Northeast of Two Harbors. All rights reserved.
