Split Rock Lighthouse and State Park is situated on a high cliff overlooking the southwestern shores of Lake Superior. It was built in 1910, long before the interstate highways made it an easy place to access, in response to 29 ships being lost in the severe Mataafa storm of 1905.
I've included a simple rendition of the recently and unfortunately closed Silver Bay Airport KBFW, for you to start from if you like. I purposefully didn't make it look busy - too bad it closed. It is situated directly west of the lighthouse.
This model includes the lighthouse with revolving lens, the fog horn house, 3 residence homes and Silver Bay airport, which unfortunaely has been recently closed due to the high costs of repairing its runways.
Note - The recently closed - KBFW is a bonus airport, for which there were not many photograpsh and it was not included in the community scenery request for the lighthouse only. (please do not give me a 3 or 4 star rating if think this airport is not up to standard,, it's a bonus) Mind you if you do like it a 5 star rating will certainly help get to my goal. You might like the P51 model twisting in the wind.
This is a larger than normal file, so kindlly make sure the entire file is downloaded and unzipped. If you have any problems, please feel free to contact me directly.
Happy landings.

Thanks so much!

Love more MN scenery! Visited this place a couple times - the North Shore of MN is fantastic. Bummer about the Silver Bay airport too. Thanks for sharing this one!

Thanks. Yes I have driven the north shore of Lake Superior and it is lovely - not so much in winter though.

Excellent lighthouse scenery, I made a video, to show your great workmanship & attention, to detail. Would you consider doing the "Ponce DeLeon Lighthouse", in Ponce Inlet, Florida? I worked there for 3 years, and there are about 7 buildings, on the property, lots of details,,,https://youtu.be/AEKbTDiOu5I

That is a fantastic video.. thanks.. really like the evening sky at the end. As for Ponce de Leon light house, I will take a look. Perhaps put it on the Community Requests, that way if I do it I get a few credits too..
