Cheboygan Crib Light
True to its name, the Cheboygan Crib Light was originally set offshore to help guide travelers into the Cheboygan River. But its foundation settled until the entire structure toppled over into the channel. Instead of destroying the now useless structure, the people of Cheboygan pulled the light ashore and gave it a new home on a short pier on the west bank of the rivermouth. The Crib Light is called a "light" rather than a "lighthouse" because it does not contain a structure in which a keeper lived. The Light was originally built in Lake Huron in 1884 on a "crib", an artificial-island landfill, more than 2,000 feet from the Cheboygan shore. It is assumed that the keeper lived in Cheboygan. It is not lighted at this time. Visitors to Gordon Turner Park can view and walk around the light at the end of Water Street in Cheboygan. A few blocks upriver is the Cheboygan River Front Range Light.
