Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal North Pierhead Light, Sturgeon Bay

What a great experience. The walk out to the light house with the waves rolling will take your breath away. If your lucky you may see a large ship come in. Bring a warmer clothes, sometimes the temps can drop from the lake. Enjoy!

Small parking area outside the Coast Guard facility, with slightly confusing signage. Lots of warnings about not trespassing, but that is just the Coast Guard area. They give the public a two foot wide section of road between the Coast Guard and the private residence to walk to the light house. Then you can walk out to get pictures and watch the boats. We had one boater think he was funny as he flew by closely to splash us, but he missed and we didn't get wet. Nice views along the walk.

Loved this little scenic spot. You can walk down to the end of the pier to see the red lighthouse. However, you must stay on the public labeled walkway to get down to the pier. Loved taking pictures and getting to see the views of the crystal clear water. Beware the area was a little buggy on the way back to the car. We also drove around and over the bridge to get to the other side of the coast guard facility to visit the beach and other pier. We didn’t walk all the way down because there was a lot of bird poop but it still was an enjoyable experience.

I have always enjoyed visiting here every summer. Parking is easy and the walk up to the pier is interesting considering the private/public painted line. Great place to go boat watching if timed correctly.

This was a really cool little walk from our cabin. It took about half an hour to get to. I'm so glad my wife and I were able to get down this far. Super cool photo opportunity. A must see if you're in the Sturgeon Bay area.
