Caseville Harbor Light
The location of the light is built into the side of Caseville Harbor Light Condominiums, south side of the mouth of Pigeon River. The nearest city is Caseville, MI. The station was first established in 2001. The current lighthouse was first lit in 2001.
The lighthouse is a white square tower. The tower has a single-flashing white light.
The light has a focal plane height of 65 ft above mean high water. The light has a nominal range of 5 nautical miles. The tower height is 38 ft. The light has a period of 10 seconds.
Tower is lit at night. The light flashes half a second every 10 seconds. Although not originally intended, it serves as a range light for the channel. It lines up with the green navigational light at the end of the Caseville breakwall.
The lighthouse is designed with an eight-sided lantern house.
A 'single-flashing' light is a light in which the total duration of light in a period is shorter than the total duration of darkness and the appearances of light (flashes) are usually of equal duration. So in the 10 second period, the light is on for less than 5 then off for more than 5.
This cache is located just off one of the many trails located in Sleepy Hollow State Park and was placed for the 6th Annual Camp MiGO event. Most of the trails are well groomed and hard packed making a bike a great way to get to the caches in the area. Keep in mind during hunting season to be aware of hunters in the area. Hunting is allowed from September 15 until April 1st each year, so please be careful and dress appropriately when hunting is allowed.
A Recreation Passport is required for all vehicles entering Sleepy Hollow State Park. They are available for $19.00 at the park. Camping is available for the event at: www.midnrreservations.com. The park closes to visitors at 10PM.
