Gordon Lightfoot honored with Split Rock Lighthouse beacon.

Split Rock Lighthouse will honor the late Gordon Lightfoot, who wrote the song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," with a beacon lighting from 9-11 p.m. on May 3. Lightfoot's epic folk ballad about the Nov. 10, 1975 wreck was considered a hit on the charts and remains popular among visitors to the lighthouse. The tribute will be available for close viewing to visitors with a state park sticker.
