The picturesque Split Rock Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on the northern shore of Lake Superior, near Silver Bay. The lighthouse has been restored to look as it did in 1920 and is a National Historic Landmark. Visitors to the property can tour the four buildings on site and climb the lighthouse.

The keeper's home is staffed by guides in period-appropriate costumes who show what life was like for light keepers and their families during the early 20th century. The lighthouse itself is the centerpiece of Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, which boasts a picnic area, tent camping and 14 miles of hiking and multi-use trails.
