点评:My impressions of Cana Island & its lighthouse are historically biased, as I first set foot on the Island over 60 years ago while on a family vacation - a tradition that became annual (with frequent visits) in the subsequent 15 years, plus about a half-dozen returns through my adulthood. But with the exception of the modern day visitor parking situation (necessary to accommodate the seasonal crowds but requiring patience to secure one of the too-few marked spaces on the lot & roadside) and the option of transport to/from the Island via a tractor-drawn multi-passenger wagon (only in service when the causeway is covered by Lake Michigan waters) and the visitor center/gift shop with an adjacent pit toilet/latrine building, Cana Island looks & feels like it did in the early 1960s. The bonus addition that makes the Island a must-see Door County attraction - and which seems to split the concensus of ratings among web reviewers - is the fee-based self-tour of the Cana Island Lighthouse, which includes access via the 97 spiral steps inside the tower to the outdoor observation deck where you will be treated to amazing bird's-eye views of the property & the surrounding Lake Michigan.
Presuming you are physically & emotionally able to ascend and descend the spiral staircase (there are several resting spaces along the way & a handrail for safety), the admission price is definitely worth the experience. But if you & your party find yourselves hesitant to pay what is truly a bargain for the history lessons inside the ground-level keeper's house & the spectacular views from the 360-degree observation deck, then scratch Cana Island off your leisure destination list & choose another tourist attraction among the scores scattered around the Door Peninsula.
翻译:我对卡纳岛及其灯塔的印象带有明显的历史情感色彩——我第一次踏上这座岛是在60多年前,当时是全家度假;此后15年间,这一传统延续下来,我们每年都会去游玩;成年后我又先后六次重返该岛。不过,除了如今的游客停车状况(为应对季节性客流而设,但由于停车位数量有限,车主需要耐心等待才能找到空位)、“拖拉机牵引式多乘客马车”这一往返岛屿的交通方式(仅在堤道被密歇根湖水淹没时才运营),以及配有简易旱厕的游客中心/纪念品商店外,卡纳岛的面貌与氛围仍和20世纪60年代初时别无二致。让这座岛屿成为多尔县必游之地的额外亮点——不过这一点似乎也让各旅游网站上的评论者们意见不一——便是需要付费才能参加的卡纳岛灯塔自助导览。游客需沿着塔内97级螺旋阶梯向上攀登,方能抵达户外观景台;在那里,可以从高处俯瞰整个岛屿以及密歇根湖的绝美景色。假设你身心状况良好,能够上下那座螺旋楼梯(沿途设有多处休息区,还有扶手以确保安全),那么这个门票价格绝对物有所值。不过,如果你和同伴们仍犹豫是否要掏钱——要知道,能参观位于底层的管理员之家并领略360度观景台上的绝美风光,其实性价比相当高——那么,就把卡纳岛从您的休闲目的地清单中划掉吧,转而选择多尔半岛上众多旅游景点中的另一个吧。
