The tower, first lit in 1876, is dark now. The working light stands nearby. A cream brick tower and keeper's house on the spit between White Lake and Lake Michigan near Whitehall, dark since 1960 and open as a museum in summer.

How to see it

Above water and inside the horizon from Medbery Park beach, Whitehall, 234 m (768 ft) away, so on a clear day it can be seen from there, and CoastFinder puts a label on it.

On the website for now. Michigan's lighthouses are in the web viewer first, and they are coming to the CoastFinder app, which covers the North Carolina coast today. Follow @coastfinderapp to hear when Michigan arrives.
