Cana Island, Navigation tower on Lake Michigan shore in Door County, US.
The white limestone lighthouse reaches 89 feet in height and includes a red lantern room at its summit overlooking Lake Michigan.
The Cana Island Lighthouse began operations in 1869, serving as a critical navigation point for vessels traversing the dangerous waters of Lake Michigan.
The keeper's residence houses exhibits featuring maritime artifacts, photographs, and documents that tell the story of Door County's maritime heritage.
Access to the island requires crossing a causeway either by foot or through the provided tractor-pulled wagon service from May through October.
Visitors who climb the 97 steps of the internal spiral staircase reach an observation deck with views extending across Lake Michigan and Door County.
