Manitowoc North Breakwater Lighthouse

Historic and sceanic place to visit. We talked with Paul, one of the volunteers of the Rotary club helping to maintain the lighthouse. You can visit 4 of the 5 floors that include details and facts on each floor. Donations are suggested but not pushed. It is a bit of a walk but well kept walkway. The last 100 feet is narrow and close to the water.

Important: Parking to access this place is near the light house pavilion and over the little island. The "dog park" is also there near the other end of said island but is only a fenced in area.

It's a very pretty small island and leading up to the Lighthouse having water on both sides is an enjoyable moment for everyone who likes to be near the water.

An early morning walk out to the lighthouse is the perfect way to start the day.

The cool breeze, abundance of sunshine, beautiful surroundings and sound of the waves contribute to the peaceful vibe.

It's well worth getting up early to have the place all to yourself.

Amazing place to go for a walk, run, go to the beach, or let your dogs run. There is a closed off dog run area. Light house is awesome and you can walk all the way out to it. Waves crashing, beautiful sights and sounds. I’ve seen some launch their kayaks here. There are plenty of events close to the light house in the summertime. Light house tours on July 4th as the inside isn’t open to the public. Now you can! Very awesome to get out here when the sun is setting for pictures and to clear your mind!

Beautiful place to walk the pups! It has a great view of the light house with a dog park nearby and a beach too!!

Can be accessed from a public peer, however, the building itself is privately owned.

Take the path via the beach and rocks on the north side of the area if possible (clockwise), as there are mpre birds, prarie, and wildflowers that way. I crossed with a bit of a swell but its still doable. The lighthouse is only open about once a month apparently but at least they leave the stairs open! Very well maintaining and excellent view. Lots of art on the rocks!

Real fun area to explore in winter, we will be back come spring to see it all thawed out. Love what they are doing to create an area for pollinators and area specific vegetation. Also thought it was cool they had a little dog park as well. Well done and we'll be back!

One of coolest spots in Manitowac to watch the Badger come into port. The lighthouse is easily accessible most days though sometimes you’ll end up with wet feet.

Beautiful lighthouse with a fun walk when the wind is blowing! There is a little nature walk between the house and the parking lot where I was lucky enough to see a bald eagle! Great spot!

Very cool lighthouse, and a sight to see and walk up too, if conditions are safe, went there on January 10 2021. Be careful of ice, and it’s a nice sight to be at and look around

One of the best strolls or paddles you can do while the sun sets of Manitowoc!! !

Gorgeous wildflowers and wildlife abound along the path to this stunning lighthouse. The views are spectacular in both directions, both the expanse of nature ahead, and the Manitowoc cityscape.

Absolutely adore this location. It is very peaceful, a decent sized walk and also lovely to look at. I highly recommend going to the top of the lighthouse, the view is great and also makes for great photographs! I love this place.

It's a bit of a walk from the parking lot but it's worth it when you watch the ferry leave port!

Awesome place for a walk with the family.

Has a wonderful beach area and a nice scenic walk out to the lighthouse.

However cold you think it will be, it will be colder!!

It was a little hard to get to with a long walk, but well worth the effort!

Great view!!! Great place to hang out with friends!!!
