Point Iroquois Light
Point Iroquois Light Station
A white brick lighthouse from 1870 on the shore of Whitefish Bay, where you can climb the tower for views over Lake Superior and the shipping channel.
Point Iroquois Light Station lies on the shore of Whitefish Bay, about 30 km west of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Completed in 1870, its white brick tower and keeper's house are now managed by the US Forest Service, and a small museum presents the daily life of the lighthouse keepers. Climbing the roughly 20 m tower gives you a view of the freighter channel entering and leaving Lake Superior. Entry is free or by small donation. The lakeshore has a beach and picnic area, and it is a good stop on the way to Tahquamenon Falls.
