Saturday, February 28 – Lantern Hike
Looking for something to get out and do this Winter?! Come join us at Tawas Point State Park for our first ever Winter Lantern Hike! This event will take place on February 28, 2026 from 6:00–9:00 PM. The lantern-lit hike will begin at the new Lighthouse Pavilion on the Lighthouse Grounds and follow the Central Point/Coast Guard Maintenance Trail to the end of Tawas Point. The trail will be illuminated by oil hurricane lanterns, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
A warming station with a propane heater and fire rings will be available near the Lighthouse Pavilion on the Lighthouse Grounds. Hot chocolate and treats will be provided while supplies last.
Please note that the trail will not be plowed but the parking lot and pathway to the Lighthouse Pavilion will be cleared. Snowshoes are encouraged and welcome, but will not be provided.
Be sure to bundle up in your favorite winter wear and dress for the conditions!
We will need volunteers to work short shifts in the Pavilion.
