White River Lighthouse
In 1870 a channel was cut from Lake Michigan to White Lake. Mariners had a difficult time finding the White River Harbor so as part of the channel project a beacon was built at the White River Beason Light end of the short south pier to guard the channel. The beacon tower was a square white pyramid wooden structure which stood 27 feet high. In 1902, the Pierhead Light Fresnel was removed, and replaced with a smaller sixth order lens, reducing its visibility to nine miles. In 1930, the pier was resurfaced in concrete and the wooden tower was replaced by a steel structure bring to an end of the old Pierhead Light. The foundation and superstructure of the shore-based lighthouse are constructed of limestone. The lighthouse was built of Michigan light-colored bricks. The lighthouse is 1 1/2 White River Lighthouse stories high with an attached tower that is 38 feet in height. The tower contained a fourth-ordered Fresnel lens which is on display. You can also climb the iron clad stairs to the lantern room of the tower. In 1960, the lighthouse was decommissioned
