Spectacle Reef Light
The light was built in northern Lake Huron about 11 miles east of the Straits of Mackinac to warn of a pair of reefs that are only 7-11 feet below the water’s surface. On navigation charts, the reefs appear similar to a pair of spectacles, hence the name. Completed in 1874, after four years of work and at a cost of $406,000 the light was the most expensive ever built on the Great Lakes at the time. A 95-foot conical limestone tower atop a concrete crib with 20' thick walls to protect the structure from ice. First lighted on June 1, 1874, the light was automated in the early 1970's and is now solar powered.The only way to see this light is by private boat.
