Poe Reef Light, Navigational lighthouse in Cheboygan County, United States

The Poe Reef Light stands 17 meters tall on Lake Huron, featuring white and black bands with a red roof in a square tower configuration.

This lighthouse, established in 1929, replaced several lightships that previously guided maritime traffic through the dangerous waters of northern Lake Huron.

Michigan maritime infrastructure includes this lighthouse among numerous beacons that safeguard commercial vessels and recreational boats throughout the Great Lakes system.

Visitors can observe the lighthouse through Sheplers Ferry Service summer cruises departing from Mackinaw City, which navigate past Round Island and Bois Blanc Island.

The structure contains three stories of keeper quarters built into its concrete foundation, which rests directly on the reef beneath Lake Huron's surface.
