Perched dramatically on a cliff overlooking Lake Superior, Split Rock Lighthouse is an iconic beacon of maritime history. Built in 1910, it guided ships through treacherous Minnesota waters with its powerful light. Its charming, classical design, complete with a signature black lantern room, makes it one of America's most photographed lighthouses. The lighthouse was constructed in response to the devastating storms of 1905 that sank or damaged 29 ships. Today, it's surrounded by the scenic beauty of Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, offering panoramic views as stunning as its storied past. With the sound of waves crashing below, it's a testament to human ingenuity and nature's power.
