Visit the Lighthouse
The Point Lookout Lighthouse Complex was officially turned over to the State of Maryland in 2006, and is now part of the Point Lookout State Park, located in Scotland, MD.
At this time, only the lighthouse is open for public tours (see schedule below).
A video surveillance system is in use to protect the lighthouse from
vandalism and trespassing. The buoy and coal sheds are still in a secured area maintained by the Navy and are not open to the public. The two sheds might be accessible in the future, once the "golf ball" tower has been relocated to an area near the fishing pier.
Two types of tours are offered: daytime tours and nighttime paranormal investigations. No reservations are required for the daytime open house events. The paranormal night-time tours are by reservation only.
For further information or to register for an upcoming paranormal event, please email our Director of Paranormal Investigations, Kim Hammond at:
Kim@easternparanormalresearch.com
Kim will answer any questions you may have and will coordinate the event with Point Lookout State Park. Please note that payment is required in advance in order to confirm your reservation. The cost is $50 per person with a maximum of 10 people for each event. Please note that if you reserve less than 10 slots, the remaining slots may be sold to other groups or individuals. Reservations are not refundable.
All scheduled events are subject to cancellation for inclement weather; if in doubt, we recommend that you check the DNR website or call the park at (301)-872-5688 to confirm. Please note that fees are subject to change and are for admittance to the park. Admittance to the lighthouse is free, but donations to help with the preservation efforts are greatly appreciated. There are additional areas north of the lighthouse that are of historical significance to the Civil War, such as Fort Lincoln and the site of the small pox hospital. The Department of Natural Resources maintains a website with additional information about the park.
