Use your state park sticker to get into the Tawas Point State Park picnic area where you can enjoy the crystal blue waters of Lake Huron. Enjoy birds of all varieties that stop in the marsh to rest or return to the area. Follow the path to the historic Tawas Point Lighthouse and see spectacular views of Lake Huron and Tawas Bay. Bring your camera, because you'll want to take pictures worthy of wall mounting. It's a "don't miss" stop when you are in the Tawas area!
State Park - must have or purchase a pass. Neat location/nice little gift shopGood walking trails around the park. Camping available!
Very well maintained. Knowledgable tour guides. Wonderful view of the bay. Definitely worth the climb to the top!
We spent a week volunteering as lighthouse keepers. It was an awesome experience for us. We were there over the weekend when the Celebration Days were held. There were lots of people interested in visiting the lighthouse--on Saturday we gave tours to over 268 people of all ages and abilities. It was amazing to me that over a hundred years ago when the lighthouse was built, it was surrounded by water on three sides and swamp on one side. Now, thanks to Mother Nature, the actual point is about a mile farther than the lighthouse. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is interested in lighthouses.
Gorgeous lighthouse with awesome views of the lake and the bay. This lighthouse sits out on the point so you have water on 3 sides. From just about any spot on the beaches you can see this beautiful lighthouse. Where it is positioned allows for awesome photo ops. Also has a cute little gift shop. You can tour the lighthouse as well. Lots of different special events take place here as well. Birding festival, historic days, even special activities for Halloween. If your visiting Tawas you have to make a stop at the lighthouse!
an excellent old lighthouse w/ lots of history. if you're into that it's worth a look. there's tours and an excellent view with a great campground to go with it.
Great place to stop. The guide was very helpful and extremely informative. Keep in mind the Lighthouse does not open until noon. And they have a gift shop.
very clean inside, each room has the old furniture and items of the time the light house was in use, you can go up to the top if you wish.
My family and I stumbled upon this little town quite unintentionally. We visited and fell in love with "The Tawases". For being such small, quaint cities, there never seems to be an end to available activities. Whether you're in the mood to lounge on the beach, swim, kayak, shop, or cycle-you won't find opportunies lacking. The people are really friendly and there are many city-wide planned activities year round to keep you socially stimulated. I've always loved the beach and the beach atmosphere, but have little love for the greasy, salty water full of who-knows-what that can bite, sting, or otherwise cause pain. THIS is the solution: Lake Huron- all the beauty with none of the pain! I've been coming every year since 2010 and loved it so much that-this past August-I bought land here. Tawas: pure water...'Pure Michigan'.
Everything! Great bike trails to get there and nice gift shop. Parking is close by and easy to access. Trails around the lighthouse are well marked.
