La Pointe Light, Lighthouse in Long Island, Apostle Islands, Wisconsin, US.
The cast iron lighthouse rises 20 meters above Long Island, featuring a green light signal that flashes every six seconds across Lake Superior.
Constructed in 1896, La Pointe Light replaced an earlier square wooden tower from 1858 and operated as a crucial navigation aid for Lake Superior vessels.
The lighthouse forms part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, reflecting the maritime development of the Great Lakes region through the 19th century.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse via water taxi services or private boats during summer months when volunteer park rangers provide guided tours.
The structure maintains its original fourth-order Fresnel lens and represents one of the oldest remaining skeletal lighthouses on the Great Lakes.
