North Head Lighthouse
North Head lighthouse, Ilwaco, Cape Disappointment State Park, Long Beach Peninsula,sponsor
Perched 129 feet above sea level, North Head lighthouse, completed in 1898, is one of two historic lighthouses in Cape Disappointment State Park. A .3-mile walk from the parking area and donation of $2.50 dollars (for 18 years and up) admits one to a 69-step climb to the lantern room (seasonal hours). Here enjoy expansive views of the mouth of the Columbia River and shipwreck-thick “Graveyard of the Pacific.” Nearby trails lead to 300-year-old Sitka spruce, ancient Douglas fir, moss-laden rain forests, wetlands and beach. With its trailhead near the light keeper’s house, Bell’s View trail provides a great view of North Head. People wearing flip-flops and children under 7 are not permitted in the lantern room. Discover Pass required.
