Previous reviewers cover the Lighthouse and road quite well. My last visit was at the end of April 2011. The road can be a challenge at times so make sure you know exactly where to turn (there are signs). In bad weather it could be sloppy in spots. The last 7 miles of road is curvy through the woods and... More

It is quite a journey to get to the lighthouse. Leave lots of time since the road is narrow as you get closer to the lighthouse. From the paved road it took us about a hour to drive on a gravel road to get to the lighthouse. It is a lovely place that a historical society maintains and you will... More

Crisp Point Lighthouse is very beautiful, and the views of the shoreline and Lake Superior are supreme. However, getting there can prove to be somewhat of a challenge, as most of the roads are unpaved and windy. Defintiely print off a copy of the map that the Crisp Point Light Historical Society provides on their website. There are a few... More

Crisp Point Lighthouse is at the end of a very long, winding and unpaved road, but the beauty of the lighthouse and surrounding area is well worth the trip. Count on at least two hours from Paradise round trip, not including the time you’re at the lighthouse. However, plan a half-day and enjoy a walk along the beach, collect stunning... More

We found the Crisp Point Lighthouse to be our favorite attraction on our trip to the Upper Peninsula. You have to take a long drive (abut 18-20 miles) on some pretty bumpy roads to get to it. However, the view is so worth the drive. We visited while someone was there to open it up so we could climb to... More

We actually visited several years ago before the new entrance building and visitor center were in place. This is off the beaten path but being adventurous is a good thing. I was recently reminded about our adventure with another family to see the lighthouse, which inspired me to become a member and hope to go back soon. This beautiful spot... More

Traveling north on M123, be sure to take side road CR500 and follows the signs * through amazing scenery and untouched beauty approximately 20 miles into the backcountry of the great north. At the end of the road is the most amazing lighthouse and beach that Michigan has to offer. Unspoiled beach with an array of stones that will keep... More

After several miles on a wider gravel road, you will go about 7 1/2 miles down a narrow, rough, hilly, twisty gravel road. Once we arrived, there about 2 pm, we found that there was no keeper, so everything was locked up, including the bathrooms! The view is good, but the long drive for ten minutes of looking at a...
