Though structurally sound, the lighthouse still needs major restoration, including roof repairs and a rebuilt tramway, with costs in the hundreds of thousands. Access is challenging due to weather and a temporary dock, so helicopter travel is recommended. The Eldred Rock Lighthouse Preservation Association aims to turn it into a maritime museum with self-guided tours, funded by grants and donations, honoring its storied past as a manned beacon once supplied from Fort Seward.
