We were married there on 10/2 - A local pastor, David Glidden brought two witnesses and it was a beautiful sunny day! The visitors to the lighthouse had no idea what was about to happen, but it was … Full review by Rhonda C

Easternmost point in the continental U.S. and right on the border of Canada. If you wish to visit the nearby Roosevelt compound at Campobello, you must have a passport. A couple of hours north of Aca… Full review by SWBragg

We visited on a cool rainy day in August, and despite the rain enjoyed the visit. Perhaps due to the rain and murky skies we could better understand the need for the lighthouse at this rocky outcrop… Full review by EC13091

Perhaps what is closed is the museum that's housed in what would have been the lighthouse keeper's house. It's an interesting little museum, but you should still be able to walk the grounds. Quoddy Head State Park, where you pay a fee, is in a different location from the lighthouse itself. Too bad that Lubec is a ghost town. I don't know when the previous reviewer was there. They have nice places to eat, but you can still view the Lubec Channel and hopefully see the seals. Hike Klondike Mountain for beautiful views. Even cross the FDR International Bridge and head to Campobello Island where there is a lot of hiking and fabulous views. Although I don't know if that particular US-Canada border crossing is open to non-essential traffic - be sure to check. You can view the Mulholland Point Lighthouse from Lubec. If you do go to Campobello Island, be sure to visit East Quoddy Lighthouse.

If you are getting that far up, there is Lubec for harbor; but more than that, there is Campobello Island, but it is in Canada. Probably need passport but our hotel said they send people over for the day without one. There is a wonderful light there called Head Harbour light (also known as East Quoddy), but it is only accessible at low tide and not easily. Does this help?

Q:
Can visitors walk to the top of the lighthouse?

Not on a routine basis, but there is a special open lighthouse day when that is possible and easily searched online. Nearby on Campobello Island in Canada is East Quoddy Light. You …
