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 originally had an attached keeper's dwelling that was torn
down in the 1950s.
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.
