Isle Royale Light, Stone lighthouse on Menagerie Island, Isle Royale, US
The Isle Royale Light features a 19-meter octagonal tower with black lantern and gallery at the entrance of Siskiwit Bay in Lake Superior.
Built in 1875, this lighthouse guided vessels through Lake Superior's waters until its automation in 1913, marking a shift in maritime navigation technology.
The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of the Great Lakes region and maintains its status on the National Register of Historic Places.
Access to Isle Royale Light requires private boat transportation, as the structure stands isolated on Menagerie Island without public tours available.
The lighthouse operates on a solar-powered 300mm Tidelands Signal Acrylic Optic system, projecting light beams visible up to 10 miles across Lake Superior.
