The Lantern Festival was a nice time! Small yet very informative. Beautiful lanterns adorned trees and people alike. Seafood, Korean and other food was available. Interesting historical facts/tour of the replicated house of the lighthouse keeper, Celtic music and dancers all added to the fun. There was plenty of very convenient parking. I look forward to attending the next one.

Great lighthouse. Museum and gift shop is very nice. Views at the top are great. The climb is a little more narrow and steep than some others, but not terrible. Worth stopping in.

This is a nice little place to stop and visit. The shop attendant was very nice as well. If you decide to climb the lighthouse be aware that it is a circular metal staircase and it does narrow at the top but the view of the bay is wonderful. Adult prices are $6.00 each to climb and you pay at the gift shop.

Crooked River Lighthouse is one of two remaining lighthouses in Franklin County, FL. It has a 4th order Fresnel lens that still shines nightly. A replica of the lighthouse keeper's house serves as a museum and gift shop. There's also a small playground, picnic area and you can find the trail head of the Carabelle Beach bike trail here. You can climb the 128 steep steps to the top for a stunning view of the coast and surrounding forest. Tower climbs are $5 per person, and are usually available Wednesday through Saturday. If you enjoy lighthouses, this is well worth a look!

This is the first lighthouse like this I have seen. My husband and friends climbed it and said it got smaller at the top but the view was worth it.There is a replica of the original light keepers house. They have a lot of interesting things about the build and how the light keeper lived. You can also watch a 17 minute video. If you are thru the area stop in.

What a fantastic place! The adjacent beach is incredible, and the lighthouse keeper's residence has been turned into a gift shop/historical artifact museum. With items such as the lighthouse keeper's uniform, books, desk, and more, you really get a feel of what their life was like. The lady in the gift shop portion was abundantly helpful, and there we purchased a booklet to begin collecting stamps of every lighthouse we visit. Truly a great experience!
