Day 39 - Door County, WI


We saw the north end of the peninsula, driving to Gills Rock, and then around to the east side to see the Cana Island Lighthouse. Staffed by volunteers, this lighthouse is still working with the 5 foot tall Fresnel lens, so the tower itself is not open to the public. However, the keeper's quarters have been cared for to show how the keeper and his family would have lived. We've seen many lighthouses in our travels, and this one was an excellent example. Lake Michigan is at a very low level right now, so a view from the shoreline, normally covered by water, was possible. This view is taken from the walkway.
