Lights Across the Border Lighthouse Challenge
Join us in Downeast Maine & Campobello Island
Just what is a “Lighthouse Challenge?”
A Lighthouse Challenge is a self-guided tour to an established number of lighthouses. At each lighthouse the partipant sees, he or she will be able to have their Offical Lighthouse Challenge Map stamped. Those participants who complete the Challenge and receive all five stamps will then receive a special Lighthouse Challenge completion souvenir. You do not need to climb the towers to complete the challenge; one merely needs to see it.
