Gull Rock Lighthouse
Gull Rock is a small remote island 2 and 1/2 miles off the Michigan shoreline in central Lake Superior. The half-acre island is made up of conglomerate rock, with little or no topsoil, and it is a favored nesting ground for gulls. Gull Rock’s brick "schoolhouse style" lighthouse was constructed in 1867 with a Fourth Order Fresnel lens and has played an integral role in Lake Superior’s maritime history. Today, the unmanned lighthouse, along with its sister light nearby on Manitou Island, remains an active aid to navigation and is a key landmark highlighting the bend in the shipping lane that connects Duluth, MN to Sault Saint Marie, MI. During fierce storms from the northwest Gull Rock also marks the gateway to safe passage on the leeward side of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula, a well-known safe harbor to regional mariners.
