As the home of Fort Gratiot Lighthouse, the park often draws in curious history buffs hoping to explore the 19th century structure. Talk about a unique destination.

While the lighthouse doesn’t open for internal tours until 10 a.m. daily, the park opens at 7 a.m. and makes for a fantastic place to catch a sunrise over the water.

As you explore the park, you’ll enjoy wonderful views of Lake Huron and its entrance to the St. Clair River. These views are especially lovely as the sun makes its entrance.
