Suzanne,

As I remember, the road was paved. Not too far from town. We also found the pier light. To me, some of the most fun when lighthousing is finding those lights that are not on the maps, where you need to do a little "seat of the pants" navigating...

When we visited Copper Harbor a major thunderstorm came up. Rather than keep everyone at the light, they required all the visitors to get back in the boat and head back to the docks in the major rain and lightening (seemed not the brightest thing to do.) Unfortunately, they had the upper hand as it was a long swim back.
