Round Island Light, Lighthouse in Straits of Mackinac, United States.
The Round Island Light stands 17 meters tall with a red stone base and wooden tower structure on the western shore of Round Island.
Built in 1895 by the United States Coast Guard predecessor agency, the lighthouse operated until 1947 when automation replaced the need for manual operation.
The Round Island Lighthouse Preservation Society organizes educational programs and maintains historical records to preserve the maritime heritage of the Straits region.
Visitors can view the lighthouse from Mackinac Island's Biddle Point or during summer boat tours that pass through the Round Island Channel.
The lighthouse structure includes the original brick outhouse and oil house, maintaining its complete 19th-century architectural composition.
