Working 4th order fresnel lens!
Don’t miss this lighthouse and park. The grounds are beautiful and consist of lighthouse keeper’s house (museum), tower to the lens, gift shop, pilot house of a Great Lakes Freighter, fog signal building and a shipwreck from 1905. The buildings and gift shop are staffed by wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly volunteers. The 4th order fresnel lens is still owned by the Coast Guard and is the only one still working on Lake Huron. Just 53 steps to the top! Since this is a county park you can swim, kayak and have a picnic. It is possible to kayak to the wreck of the Fay or even scuba dive/snorkel as it is about 600ft from shore. Part of it is on shore. The gift shop has nice things but no food or drinks so bring water and food. Admission is free but donations are welcome. A great place to visit!

Anniversary Bliss!
In mine and my husband's opinion ,this Light house is so far the most beautiful and well kept lighthouses in Michigan and we have been to a lot of them in this state . The keepers of the lighthouse were very friendly and helpful and even offered to move their lawnmower out of the way so as not to ruin my photos I was taking at the time . We travel a lot up and down the Alantic coast and the Pacific Coast and have seen tons of lighthouses through out our travels and we highly recommend everyone to stop by and see it. Well kept with beautiful flowers everywhere .A Photographer's dream shot's . Thanks to the caretakers !

Nice place
Surrounded by trees and coast of the Lake Huron gives the tourists a taste of real reason for building the lighthouses in the past. There is nothing around, but the ships must be safe, so they need help - the light! I like this lighthouse and the whole area. If you go there, don't pick Monday. It's closed! There are interesting objects somehow related to the region and to the lakes. I recommend it. RomanP
