Point Iroquois Light, Lighthouse in Bay Mills Township, Michigan

Point Iroquois Light stands 65 feet tall on a bluff, marking the boundary between Whitefish Bay and the western end of the St. Marys River.

The original wooden lighthouse from 1856 operated until 1870, when the current white brick structure replaced it to guide ships through Lake Superior.

The lighthouse museum displays family photographs, antiques, and navigational artifacts, including the fourth-order Fresnel lens that projected light for sixteen miles.

The lighthouse operates from May through October, with guided tours available Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday from 1 PM to 5 PM.

Visitors can climb 72 steps to reach the tower observation deck, offering views of Lake Superior and passing freighters navigating through Whitefish Bay.
