Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the Haunted Hollow 6 event and is located just off one of the many trails located in Sleepy Hollow State Park. Most of the trails are well groomed and hard packed makeng a bike a great way to get to the caches in the area.  A Michigan Passport is required for entry to the park and may be purchased there.  Keep in mind during the hunting season to be aware of hunters in the area.  Hunting is allowed from September 15th until April 1st each year.


Grosse Ile North Channel Front Range Lighthouse

Grosse Ile North Channel Front Range Lighthouse

 

The structure is in good condition considering it was built in 1906. It stands 40 feet tall and was deactivated in 1963. The octagonal white tower is beautiful, each face is sided with horizontal wood strips like clapboards on an old house. Near the middle the structure angles inward and narrows. The eight sided lantern room is empty now. The Grosse Isle Historical Society will give tours of this light. Since it is on private land, visitors must be escorted to the light by members of the society.
