Eagle Bluff Lighthouse is located in Door County’s Peninsula State Park at 10249 Shore Road. This lighthouse sits on a bluff 76 feet above the Strawberry Channel of Green Bay. The lighthouse was manned from 1868 until 1926. The lighthouse fell into disrepair until it was restored by the Door County Historical Society in the early 1960s.

The Eagle Bluff Lighthouse is open for self-guided tours from May through October from 11 AM until 4 PM. Guided tours are also available but must be arranged in advance. All tours have a small fee. The buildings on the grounds contain some of the lighthouse keepers’ original furnishings, as well as authentic period items. The stories of the keepers and their families are described for visitors. There is a gift shop on the grounds.

The Eagle Bluff light is lit year-round and can be seen by boaters in the summer and snowmobilers in the winter.
