The road must have been in the best conditions ever because other than the military blocking the road, we had zero issues in a car. The road is tight and windy with holes, but that's any North Woods dirt road. The whole experience is priceless, and the end results are amazing views with rocks for as far as the eye can see. The gift shop is full of information and history along with necessities for an adventure! Sad to admit, I've made it a point to visit the area at least once a year. This was the first time I've adventured to Crisp Point! This is now going to be one of my must stops every time I'm in the area!

18 1/2 miles in from main Highway. Takes one hour one way but well worth the trip. Absolutely beautiful light house. Seasonal road so be careful what time of year you go.
If the door is open you get to climb up and get a very nice view.

Don't come here if you're not ready to spend an hour driving on bumpy dirt roads sandy atv trails. Please don't attempt this drive in any kind of car, a truck or SUV is a must.

But well worth it if you're brave!!

Such an amazing lighthouse. Driving down the narrow seasonal road, feels like you are driving back in time. Such a beautiful area and view that isn't very crowded. Just make sure when you're leaving as the sun is setting to take time on the winding road as the sun is in your eyes at the worse times. Can't wait to make this a reoccurring item on my many trips in and to the U.P.

Everyone was very nice & there's a small gift shop. No entrance fee to go into lighthouse by yourself. It was really cool to go up the spiral staircase to the top of lighthouse & look out taking pictures. Inside had relics from lighthouse keepers.
Beach was really pretty.

It is quite a long drive on a dirt road. Make sure you are traveling there in the right season with the right tires. Make sure you have enough gas to get there and back. Take your own garbage bag, as they do not have a place to put trash. They do have bathrooms, but toilets only work until dusk because they are solar powered.

The area is gorgeous. There’s a lovely boardwalk to take to the lighthouse. It’s free to climb up to the top. The gift shop is probably the best gift shop I’ve been to at a lighthouse with many nice souvenirs for the whole family. The volunteers working there were all so friendly. Get your lighthouse passport stamped and sign the guest books while you are there. There is access to the beach just past the lighthouse too.

Most beautiful view from the very top of lighthouse. Just the 2 of us had whole lighthouse climb to top & back down to ourselves. Breathtaking & fast heartbeating views from up there. If you ever get the chance you must make the climb to top & soak in the "Superior" of Michigan.

Very pretty. As the other reviews noted a very long dirt road drive to get there & very small signs. Internet isn't good down there, so plan to be out before dark. The lighthouse was closed, but still very beautiful views. Took home a couple rocks. Very quiet & enjoyable time.
