North Manitou Shoal Light Station
North Manitou Shoal Light Station, Offshore lighthouse in Leland Township, US
The North Manitou Shoal Light Station stands 79 feet above Lake Michigan, with a steel structure supported by a concrete base in 26 feet of water.
The United States Lighthouse Service completed this lighthouse in 1935 to replace Lightship No. 103, marking dangerous shoals in the Manitou Passage navigation channel.
Three lighthouse keepers maintained continuous operations until 1980, representing the final manned offshore lighthouse station throughout the Great Lakes region.
North Manitou Light Keepers organization offers various membership levels ranging from 25 dollars to 1000 dollars to support the ongoing restoration of this structure.
The lighthouse contains a two-story building with diesel generators and living quarters, topped by a three-story light tower visible across Lake Michigan.
