This tower stands 107 feet tall and still houses its original 3rd order Fresnel lens. It is an exact copy of Big Sable Point -further to the north with the exception of steel plating. The lighthouse is now available for walking tours, climb your way to the top and enjoy a one of kind view of Lake Michigan.
While no longer equipped with it's
Fresnel lens, Big Sable's 300mm plastic optic still shines proudly
across the shore of Lake Michigan, a beacon to mariners, a link to
Michigan's proud maritime heritage, and a memorial to the proud keepers
who worked so hard to keep the light burning throughout the years.
