Description
The Egg Rock Lighthouse is visible while on the shores of Mount Desert Island, but if you really want to see it up close, hop on the Lighthouse Tour boat. It is a wonderful way to see these historic lighthouses up close. Egg Rock is now a bird sanctuary and is closed to the public. It is home to many birds and many harbor seals. The historian on board the boat mentioned that not many people find this lighthouse to be attractive and downright ugly. However, I disagree completely. I love the old charm of the lighthouse. It was built in 1875, which puts it well over 100 years of age. It must have been built to last and I hope that the park will always maintain the building as it adds so much to the view.
