Not paved, it's loose rip rap and it might be nice to walk all the way out there, but you still need to walk all the way back. First lit in 1905, the 40 foot tall rectangular house has a red cylindrical tower at the top. If you do make the walk successfully and return, let me know. I have no problem making a regular walk for a view but this? I'm too clumsy. There is a parking area nearby and a small rocky beach. This is my 5th lighthouse on Lake Erie and the 100th lighthouse in my collection, https://www.yelp.com/collection/GLWJhPZloUBCLUFSYgLw4g [Review 1370 of 2024 - 289 in Ohio - 22393 overall]

They have also…read moreinstalled a number of caption signs that detail the history of the river and its recovery from pollution. The front of the marker reads, "When the Pittsburgh, Youngstown and Ashtabula Railroad was finished in 1873, Ashtabula's harbor became a direct route to ship iron ore to the booming steel mills of Youngstown and Pittsburgh. On the west side of the Ashtabula River, a brush-filled gulley became Bridge Street. New buildings and bridges attest to the harbor's importance as a commercial and shipping hub from the late 19th through mid 20th centuries. Fires destroyed wood-frame buildings on the block closest to the river. A fire in 1886 nearly cleared the north side of Bridge Street. Another fire swept over the south side in 1900. Fire resistant brick buildings replaced frame structures and over the course of rebuilding, the level of the street rose approximately eight feet. In 1889, a swing-span bridge replaced the original pontoon bridge over the river. A bascule lift (draw) bridge replaced the swing bridge in 1925. And on the reverse, "Demand for labor in Ashtabula brought Swedish, Finnish, Irish, Italian and other immigrants to the city. Bridge Street served these and other residents, and the marine and railroad trade. Businesses on Bridge Street included department stores, barbers, grocers, attorneys, undertakers, and restaurants, as well as pool halls, saloons, and brothels. Ashtabula's harbor was one of the busiest ports on the Great Lakes, even surpassing Cleveland as an ore receiving port. It was also reputed to be one of the toughest ports in the world, sharing that distinction with Shanghai and Calcutta. Machines gradually replaced stevedores and this process was accelerated with the installation of Hulett ore unloaders on the docks in 1910. By the late 20th century, mechanization progressed to the point that, under a crew's guidance, ships unloaded themselves. The City of Ashtabula placed the harbor commercial district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975." This is marker number 12-4 and it was erected in 2010 by the Ashtabula City Port Authority and The Ohio Historical Society. There is parking nearby in the marina.
