This lighthouse and surrounding grounds are one of the best lighthouse experiences we ever had. We…read moreare lighthouse fans and have visited many lighthouses, but OMP Lighthouse was the best experience we've ever had. We toured and climbed the lighthouse with tour guide Lawson who was simply terrific--knowledgable, engaging and dressed in full lighthouse keeper uniform. He also demonstrated the fog signal whistle, and we learned a lot about that. The museum was the best lighthouse museum we've ever toured. But the real surprising thing was the Straits of Mackinac Shipwreck Museum on the property. With top-notch audiovisual displays and actual remnants, I learned a lot and was very interested (and I didn't really want to tour it originally--I am so glad I changed my mind.) This is in a wonderful location right by the Mackinac Bridge, very picturesque. I encourage you to stop in, take the tour, climb the lighthouse if you're able, and tour the museum and shipwreck museum--you will not be disappointed!

It took us about 50 minutes with our camper to get to the lighthouse. If we had known that, we wouldn't have come on a day when we had the camper. It's a free to climb tower and a gift shop that says they're open 10-6 but again DO NOT GO HERE IF YOURE NOT READY FOR THE ROAD IN!! I'm not joking here, if you are in a smaller car or in an RV and you encounter one of the sandy patches- you're not getting out without a tow truck. In a larger vehicle, you may not turn around to leave once you get to the end. Go with a full tank of gas and prayers for your undercarriage.

We sat together and 4 ordered menu items that said if you buy one, second is free. Still could only get one. And if you got that, our 10 percent coupons couldn't be used. So for six of us who thought we were getting a deal, we got one free bagel (restaurant chose which bogo to honor) off our $110 breakfast bill. We weren't allowed separate checks, so we each pulled out cash for our portions but they don't take cash. Wow!! So one of us had to charge $100+ and collect cash from the rest. And they charged a credit card fee, we think. Talked to manager about all the rules and got our favorite response, "there is NOTHING we can do." We will never go back but it's a resort so they don't care. If this restaurant was in a non-resort area, they'd be out of biz in a year. Food was average at best -- resort prices.

It was very calm and picturesque as we strolled along the shore with views of Mackinac Island, the ferry boats, picnic tables, a few historical monuments, and a sundial where your shadow tells the time of day. The highlight was the impressive Chief Wawatam Lighthouse, accessed by walking down a pier from the main boardwalk. Plenty of great photo ops are everywhere.

The campus is beautiful and well-maintained. Admission is $15, which I consider a steal - there are six buildings you can enter, each with their own "theme", as well as an interpreter to answer any questions. We spent way longer than we anticipated. While each building is small, they are packed with displays, artifacts, and informational graphics that really highlight many of the individuals that were involved in the U.S. Lighthouse Service, as well individuals who were involved in some of rhe over 550 shipwrecks on Lake Superior alone. The main gallery/building (the one with the bell from the Edmund Fitzgerald) was particularly beautiful and very moving. I'm not ashamed to admit that this was a pretty emotional experience for me. After you view the very moving displays, the beach is right there to walk along and contemplate the fragility of human life in the face of chaotic nature. Whitefish Point is also home to the Seney National Wildlife Refuge and an Audubon Bird Observatory. Yes, it's a long drive from, well, anywhere. But the drive is scenic, and the small town of Paradise is only about 10 miles away and offers plenty of lodging and nice diners and such for those needs. Taquamenon Falls is also quite close, and a wonderful experience in and of itself. This place is truly a gem, and an important place to visit for anyone interested in history, seafaring, nature, etc. I couldn't recommend it more.

There were a lot of unhappy children that weren't shy about vocalizing their displeasure. This time, it was cool out with light rain, empty of people & not a mosquito in site. The lower falls may make you question why you're here. The upper falls should help you remember. We trekked all over & enjoyed it. (After hours on a bike, the body was itching to be in motion.) The walkways are user friendly & I'd call it more of a stroll than a hike. No scrambles here. I'm not sure you could pay me to come back when it's busy but I would certainly come back around the end of September/beginning of October. The colors were just starting, too. So, if you're looking for that, it should be ready around the 1st week of October (?)
