Sand Hills Light, Neoclassical lighthouse in Allouez Township, US
The Sand Hills Light features yellow brick construction with a black lantern top and rises 28 meters above Lake Superior's shoreline.
Built in 1919 to protect ships from Sawtooth Reef after Eagle River Light's decommissioning, this lighthouse guided vessels through Lake Superior until 1954.
The original fourth order Fresnel lens from Sand Hills Light is now exhibited at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum in Detroit.
The lighthouse and its 55-acre grounds remain under private ownership and are not accessible to visitors or tours.
During World War II, the lighthouse functioned as a Coast Guard training facility, accommodating approximately 200 trainees before returning to navigation duties.
