Cana Island Lighthouse
Lighthouse · Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin
An 1869 light on a small island off the Door County shore at Baileys Harbor, reached by a rock causeway that is under water as often as it is not. The 89-foot tower was encased in steel plate in 1902 when the original brick began failing, which is why it is white rather than red, and you can climb the ninety-seven steps to the gallery. It is the most photographed lighthouse in a state that has more lighthouses than any other, and the keeper's house is furnished as it was lived in.

Seasonal — generally open daily from late May to mid-October, roughly 10:00 to 17:00, and closed for the winter. Admission covers the grounds, keeper's house and tower climb. The causeway crossing depends on Lake Michigan water levels and a tractor-drawn wagon runs for a small extra charge when the water is high. Check current conditions before travelling.
