Beautiful view of the lake. Price was reasonable. If you don't like heights, don't go up to the viewing platform.

Its a little hard to find, but worth the effort. You can climb the lighthouse and view the living quarters or browse the grounds. There is an extra fee for climbing the 97 steps, but worth the price and the time.
We biked out here and walked the beach. Very pretty.
Always a great picture taking location. Quiet and beautiful!
We have visited the Cana light many times. Some times with our children, other times with travel companions. Some with higher water and most with a dry causeway. It's always been fun and enlightening. Buy a trinket at the lighthouse shop.
Ahoy! Thanks much for the kind words...we're thrilled that you enjoyed your visit to the historic Cana Island Light Station. It is truly a special place!

My wife and I came here and had been here before but this time we decided to actually climb the tower. It does cost a little extra but the views are amazing and if you like that kind of thing, its worth it. I am however not the greatest with heights and didn't even think about it when we decided...

Ahoy! Thanks for the insightful review...great to hear that you enjoyed your adventure to the top of the light tower. Imagine what that climb must have been like for the lighthouse keepers back in the 1870s when they had to carry two buckets of melted lard to fuel the lamp! Again, glad you enjoyed your trip to the Cana Island...

We got here about 10:00 and went behind the light house to the beach before going into the lighthouse. Mistake. You have to get a number for the tour, and by the time we did this, there was another 25 minute wait. There isn't enough to look at in the lighthouse for that long... so get your number first, and...

Thanks for the kind words...wondeful to hear that you enjoyed your sojourn to beautiful Cana Island. Your tip to future visitors on check-in for the tower climb is a good advice. On many days there is little or no wait but on busy days it is best to get checked in for tower right away. The County Parks Dept. is...

Parking is at a premium, so go early in the day. Large vehicles will have a difficult time finding room to park and turn around. The view from the tower is worth the extra $4.00 and walk up the 97 spriral staircase steps to the top!
Ahoy! Thanks for the kind words...great to hear you enjoyed your visit to the iconic Cana Island Light Station and your adventure to the top of the light tower. The County Parks Dept. is working diligently to acquire land for a nearby parking lot...the parking challlenges should be eliminated by late spring 2012! Thanks again for the review...hope your travels...

My husband and I were a little surprised with the cost, $6.00 to see the lighthouse, plus an additional $4 to go up to the top, but we figured "while in Rome....". Glad that we did it, we got some awesome pictures from the top and also from a few of the peepholes on the way. I wouldn't recommend going...

At first we thought the price was a little steep for visiting the lighthouse but we are glad we did it. We loved the views on the beach, my daughter had so much fun jumping on the rocks and would have stayed all day if we would've let her!
