Trowbridge Lighthouse Tour

This lighthouse is one of the most iconic and secluded on Lake Superior. Nestled at the base of the Sleeping Giant in Thunder Bay, visitors embark on a journey reminiscent of silver miners and light keepers by joining Archie’s Charters. Guests will be mesmerized as they explore the submerged Silver Mine shafts, visit the Sea Lion, and ascend the steps to the historic concrete tower and Fresnel Lens. Wrapped in brass and adorned with finely cut glass, this beacon has guided mariners from 15 nautical miles away. Book Now

This summer, four tours are scheduled on July 9 and July 23, as well as August 6 and 20. Each tour lasts around an hour and includes historical information boards and stunning panoramic views at the feet of Naniboujou. Learn from your guide about the challenges faced by light keepers, including the occasional handling of dynamite. Good walking shoes are essential, as the terrain is suitable for moderate skill levels. Visitors can also explore the fog alarm building, though some areas are off-limits due to the island’s topography. Book Now
