The tower was first lit in 1895 and is still an aid to navigation. Its light shows two white flashes every 10 seconds. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The red and white lighthouse on the west shore of Round Island, facing Mackinac Island across the ferry channel, was abandoned in 1947 and relit as a private light in 1996.
