For seven seasons Molly and I have made an annual trek to the eastern end of Lake Superior near Whitefish Bay. Soon we will make this trek once more, our eighth. There is a remote spot 20 miles west of Whitefish Point called Crisp Point. We serve as lighthouse keepers at Crisp Point Lighthouse (Google Maps Link). There is no lighthouse keepers residence. Our “residence” is our three person pup tent which is pitched 30 yards from Lake Superior. Only keepers may camp at the lighthouse. Crisp Point is reached by travelling a 19 mile long dirt logging road, but only after one first drives 20 miles on a paved road from the nearest small town (Newberry, Michigan). You do not go out for pizza, as the round trip would be 3 hours. The lighthouse is remote! If you are ever in the eastern Upper Peninsula (U.P.), the light is worth a visit. One may walk for miles and miles on remote sandy beaches. Once you put a bit of distance from the lighthouse and other guests, you will have the world to yourself!
Here are a few pics from our previous years at Crisp Point.
