Completed in 1898. The complex includes an 82' tower and two Queen Anne-style keepers' dwellings. Devils Island, the northernmost point in Wisconsin, has a dock at its south end and a rock landing near the lighthouse which is accessible by boat in calm weather.

Although Devils Island is relatively remote, the lighthouse is a popular destination for experienced boaters and sea kayakers. There are several landing sites, making the island accessible in a variety of wind conditions. Tour boats do not usually stop at Devils Island, but the Apostle Islands Cruise Service offers excellent views of the lighthouse from the lake. Visitors who do reach the island will find the lighthouse staffed with a volunteer lightkeeper during the summer season; tours of the tower are usually available between 9:00 and 11:00 am, and 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm.
