Charlevoix South Pier Light Station
Charlevoix South Pier Light Station, Lake Michigan lighthouse in Charlevoix, United States.
The 12-meter steel skeletal tower features an enclosed upper section and sits at the end of the south pier entrance to Lake Charlevoix.
Built in 1948 to replace the original 1884 north pier structure, this lighthouse incorporated components from its predecessor to maintain maritime navigation safety.
The Charlevoix Historical Society manages the preservation of this maritime landmark, which received National Historic Places recognition in 2005.
The lighthouse operates with a fifth-order Fresnel lens that produces red flashes every four seconds, visible up to 10 nautical miles across Lake Michigan.
The structure stands on a pier system engineered to withstand strong wave pressures and contains specialized hydrodynamic designs for harbor protection.
