South Haven Light, Lighthouse on Lake Michigan in South Haven, United States
The South Haven Light features a cylindrical steel tower with a height of 10.5 meters, painted in red and white at the Black River entrance.
Constructed in 1872 with a wooden structure, the lighthouse received its current steel tower in 1903, marking the harbor entrance for maritime traffic.
The Michigan Maritime Museum maintains the former keeper's house as the Marialyce Canonie Great Lakes Research Library, preserving local maritime records.
Visitors can walk along the pier to observe the lighthouse exterior, while the interior opens for special occasions during events like Harborfest.
The lighthouse retains one of only four remaining catwalks in Michigan, connecting the tower to the shore across the pier.
