6 Challenge set-up outside main museum entrance. If you do not wish to enter the museum grounds to access the lighthouse, souvenirs will be available at the main museum entrance (no charge). Please note that the lighthouse will close promptly at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday evening due to another scheduled event.
7 This caisson lighthouse is NOT a required stop along the Challenge route, but is conveniently located and representative of other offshore caissons around the Bay. Vehicle passengers can clearly view the lighthouse from the western portion of the Bay Bridge. You will cross this bridge on Rt. 50 between Baltimore (Seven Foot Knoll) and St. Michaels (Hooper Strait). You may enter the park for a closer view. Souvenirs and Challenge volunteers WILL NOT be set up at this location. A souvenir for this lighthouse will be available at other Challenge locations for all Challengers whether or not they choose to enter the park.
8 Visiting this replica will require a short boat ride to and from the St. Clement's Island Museum ($5.00 charge), and a 1/2 mile walk to and from the lighthouse. High winds/heavy rains could cause boat cancellation. Call ahead in the event of inclement weather (301) 769-2222. You will be able to pick up the Blackistone Lighthouse souvenir at the lighthouse ONLY. Tower will be open for climbing/Donations welcome. Handicapped Access – Museum on mainland only.
Bay Bridge Traffic can be monitored on 570AM WTNT (DC) or 967FM (Easton, MD).
