Split Rock Lighthouse is a beautiful beacon of light in northeastern Minnesota, sitting atop a cliff overlooking Lake Superior. It was built in 1910 to guide ships and boats safely through the notoriously choppy waters. The lighthouse itself is a charming example of the classic redbrick lighthouses and is open for overnight stays. For photographers and travelers, Split Rock offers spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding cliffs, in addition to the uniquely shaped, octagonal beacon. During the summer, visitors can explore the grounds and climb the tower for 360-degree views of the lake and the surrounding islands. With its rich history and spectacular scenery, Split Rock is a must-see destination for outdoor adventurers.
