Eagle Island Light Open House
August 13, 2023 | 12 – 3 pm
The lighthouse will be open for you to go up and get the best view of Penobscot Bay that there is. Bring a picnic and spread out in the meadow with family and friends. Lemonade and cookies will be served. Plus you can shop Eagle Light Caretaker “merch” – we have tees for adults and kids, baseball hats, tote bags plus a new limited-run hoodie.
Transportation is available on the Katherine mailboat or come by your own boat and anchor off the lighthouse beach and follow signs to the top.
Maine Lighthouse Day

This popular annual event, which is sponsored by the United States Coast Guard, the Maine Office of Tourism, and the American Lighthouse Foundation, attracts between 15,000 to 18,000 visitors each year and offers the general public the rare opportunity to climb and learn about over two dozen historic Maine lights.
