Gibraltar Island Tours

Come to Gibraltar Island this summer to learn about the island’s history and current Lake Erie research taking place there! Tour guides lead a one-hour walking tour of the island including Perry’s Lookout, the geologically significant glacial grooves, Stone Lab buildings, and the outside of Cooke Castle. The second hour focuses on current Lake Erie research conducted at Stone Lab on topics such as mayfly populations, aquatic invasive species, and the federally-threatened, state-endangered Lake Erie water snake. Tours are provided on a first-come, first-served basis, with a maximum of 75 people.
