This was a hidden little place. We went directly to the lighthouse to begin our adventure. There was a parking area and a little walking bridge to the lighthouse. It is fall and the trees were colorful. It made for some fantastic photos with our friends from out of town. BUT, that was it. We drove to the marina hoping to find some information about the park or the history. We found none. There is what appears to be a dirt parking lot right as you turn into the park. I think this is where the walking trails were. We only noticed it might be part of the park as we were leaving. If anything, it's not well signed. We were hoping to see some parts of the old buildings or something like that. We found none. My hunch is that the trails we never found would take you into the wooded area that the cemetery is indicated to be in. Oddly, there were about 6 different vehicles spaced throughout the park pulled over along the side of the road with a man in each. It wasn't lunchtime. Seemed a bit off. I don't think I would be comfortable without some friends.

There was a lot of construction going on when I was here and it made it difficult to get to the lighthouse. But I managed to get some pretty good pictures. On my trip in August of this year I finally got to cross over to the lighthouse.

The light house is over grown with trees and difficult to see from shore. The bridge is totly gone and you can't get close to it at all...A little disappointed. Was expecting to be able to see it better...

Agree with other reviewers. Sad. Overgrown, nothing being taken care of. Really not worth the stop at all. You can zoom in on camera to get a pic. Nothing else to do around there at all.

Quaint little lighthouse on a quaint little island right off the shore of a huge lake. It's a great little spot to visit and chill with your own thoughts while admiring the scenery.

Neat park with kind of a twisted past. The lighthouse is cool and the Asylum Cemetery is worth checking out. Graves are marked by number. The sign reads strange.
