Forty acres of the island now make up Burrows Island Lightstation State Park, which includes the lightstation and 1000 feet of shoreline. A trail behind the lighthouse winds through groves of madronas to the top of the island, where the 650-foot climb is rewarded with a spectacular view of Rosario Strait. On April 27, 2006 the availability of the Burrows Island Light Station to an eligible entity was announced under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act. Applications for the lighthouse were made, but the National Park Service has yet to announce the result of the review process. |
