Pukaskwa National Park
Otter Island Lighthouse on Lake Superior’s northern shore.
Otter Island Lighthouse
Otter Island, part of Pukaskwa National Park, is located on a very remote section of Lake Superior shoreline, accessible only by boat and by more adventurous hikers. The Otter Island Lighthouse, built in 1903, sits on the northwest tip of the island.

Along the Shoreline
Pukaskwa National Park was formed in 1978, and I had the rare fortune to work for the park in the summer of 1979. My job was to hike the remote backcountry to locate and flag a significant portion of what is now known as the Coastal Hiking Trail – 37 miles (60 kilometers).
