White Shoal Light, Historic lighthouse in Lake Michigan, United States.

The 37-meter white tower with red spiral bands stands on a concrete platform in Lake Michigan, 20 miles west of Mackinac Bridge.

Constructed in 1910, White Shoal Light represents the culmination of 40 years of engineering efforts to build navigation structures on remote shoals.

The lighthouse holds National Register of Historic Places status and illustrates the maritime heritage of Michigan's Great Lakes navigation system.

Access requires a 90-minute boat journey from Mackinaw City and climbing a 22-foot vertical ladder to reach the lighthouse entrance.

The structure features an aluminum finish instead of cast iron, distinguishing it from other Great Lakes lighthouses with its spiral red band pattern.

Location: Emmet County
