Lighthouse · Green Bay, Wisconsin
Green Bay Harbor Entrance Light
The tower was first lit in 1935 and is still an aid to navigation. Its light shows a red light that goes dark briefly every 4 seconds, seen up to 12 nautical miles out. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A white conical tower on a round concrete pier about 10 miles out from the mouth of the Fox River; it is too far from shore to be seen well, so the view is from a boat.
