Lighthouse · Cheboygan, Michigan

Cheboygan River Front Range Lighthouse

The tower was first lit in 1880 and is still an aid to navigation. Its light shows a steady red light, seen up to 8 nautical miles out. A frame keeper's house with the range light in its lantern, on Water Street at the mouth of the Cheboygan River; the Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association opens it on summer weekends.
