Perched on top of a stone spire, this lighthouse looks like something straight out of "The Little Mermaid." Destroyed in WWII, it was rebuilt in the early 1990s, and is said to look just as magical as before.

This lighthouse is surrounded by sand dunes. However, when it was built in the 1900s, there were no sand dunes nearby, and it was much further inland than it was now. Over the years, the sea encroached and wind blew so much sand on it that at times its light was barely visible.

Located on the north shore of Lake Superior, this stunning lighthouse sits on top of a 130-foot cliff. It is coupled with Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, which has more than 2,000 acres of trails, waterways, and campgrounds to explore.
