Poe Reef Light
Built in 1929, about 2 miles off shore of Cheboygan, Michigan in Lake Huron, to mark a dangerous shallow area. The light is located in the South Channel that is used by ships passing between Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. The channel runs between Bois Blanc Island and the Michigan mainland. A 25-foot square, 3-story building topped by a smaller, square fourth story, sitting on a 64-foot square concrete pier. The first level is painted black, the second and third painted white, and the fourth level is black. The Fifth Order Fresnel lens has a focal plane 71 feet above Lake Huron, and is housed in a red roof lantern. The light is visible from Gordon Turner Park, in Cheboygan, Michigan, at the mouth of the Cheboygan River, but is best viewed form a private boat.
