Manistique Lighthouse
The picturesque red Manistique East Breakwater Light, located on the end of a concrete breakwater on the east side of the harbor where the Manistique River flows into Lake Michigan, welcomes travelers to the harbor town of Manistique in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The pier is located on the east side of Manistique where you will find walkways leading visitors to the beginning of the breakwater offering a good view of the Manistique Lighthouse. You can park at Lakeview Park and walk west on the boardwalk or turn south at the first road east of the bridge to the parking lot near the marina and take the path to the pier. While the lighthouse is not open to the public, you can easily see it from the end of the breakwater and get some great photos. On a good day you can walk out to the lighthouse, but caution is strongly advised as winds and waves can be treacherous. The lighthouse is an active aid to navigation guiding ships into the Manistique marina. Be sure to get an evening or night view of the light shining out over Lake Michigan. The present Manistique Light was first lit on August 17, 1916 and is a bright red square tower with a black lantern room. A black staircase leads from the pier to the door of the lighthouse. Small round windows provide light to the interior, but the tower is not open to visitors. This light replaced the pierhead lights that were built in 1914.
