Manitou Island South Lighthouse
South Manitou Island Lighthouse is located on South Manitou Island in Lake Michigan, 16 miles west of Leland. The Lighthouse is the most familiar landmark on the island and is clearly visible from the mainland. The 100 foot lighthouse tower, active from 1871 to 1958, marked the location of the only natural harbor between here and Chicago. Ships took refuge here during storms and steamers stopped at the island to refuel with wood for their boilers.
