The fourth lighthouse was Winter Harbor Lighthouse.
One view of the lighthouse.
The other side of the lighthouse.
The Winter Harbor Lighthouse is offshore of Schoodic Peninsula, another part of Acadia National Park. Earlier in the week that Mike and I had been visiting Maine we drove to Schoodic Peninsula, specifically, Schoodic Point. Ironically, we didn't drive far enough to where you could see the lighthouse. The view from the tour most likely was better anyway, so we didn't mind.
The final stop on our tour was Egg Rock Lighthouse.
This lighthouse had the most unique look, more like a house, of all five of the lighthouses on the tour. While we were stopped there a Bald Eagle was sitting on a walkway on the island.
So there you have it, our first lighthouse tour! Of course we didn't just see lighthouses, so here are some of the other highlights of the tour.
Little Cranberry Life Saving Station
Mansions
Osprey
Turtle Island's buoy tree
And of course, beautiful scenery (I may be a little biased)
We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who loves lighthouses and sightseeing. Of course, if you get seasick you would miss out on this tour and most of the lighthouses on it because the best view is from the water (or air).
Nice picture of the Winter Harbor lighthouse :) I am planning to take some pictures of that one this winter. I only have a couple and I was too far away. I have also been out by the Turtle Island buoy tree but I was working so I never got any pictures...it is really neat!! I am really enjoying your lighthouse blog...it is giving me ideas for some winter photo sessions!!
