My visit here this time was specifically for hiking the Bean and Bear loop, a nearly 7 mile round trip. We arrived on a day that was really overcast and foggy, but this was the day we had set aside …Full review by Erica F

It was a beautiful day to be at the lighthouse. We took the 1 hour gruided tour and had Robert as our guide. He was very interesting and answered all our questions and we could talk about the const…Full review by Susan I

If we went in early September will it be too cold to be in the water or sleep in a tent?

if we're just using hwy 61 to go farther north, do we still have to pay a fee to drive since it goes through the state park?

There is no charge to drive on Hwy 61. There is a charge to go into Splitrock. There is much to see driving up 61. Many interesting stops are free my favorite falls is viewed right from the bridge on 61 in a town called Schroeder. Two harbors, Pallisade (has the best view of Lake Superior), Beaver Bay (has a great ice cream shop), and many places to stop and throw rocks in the lake between Duluth and Two Harbors (take the scenic road not the freeway.) Have fun!
We are planning to visit Split Rock Lighthouse, but also wondering where a good place would be to view it from Hwy. 61.

to me the best place to view it is from the beach area by the picnic grounds in the park south of the lighthouse and along the walking trail. that is where the majority of the pictures are …
to me the best place to view it is from the beach area by the picnic grounds in the park south of the lighthouse and along the walking trail. that is where the majority of the pictures are taken. you still need to have the state park sticker on your vehicle. that is $7 for the vehicle for a day. so if you have 4 people in your vehicle, that is $1.75 per person. then you could skip the tour. or buy the sticker that is good for a year at all the state parks for $35. but there is a scenic overlook on 61 south of the park that you can see it from.
I know they charge admission to tour the lighthouse, but can you go here and hike trails and see the outside of the lighthouse without the fee? Is it worth going if you don't want to pay for a whole family to get in the lighthouse?
A:
You would need a State Park permit to go hiking in the park. Daily permits are $5 per vehicle.
