Located approximately 12 to 13 miles west of Whitefish Point in a remote area in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The lighthouse was constructed in 1903 and 1904 and became operational on May 5, 1904. It was decommissioned in 1993. Originally this site contained a lifesaving station and quarters, a two-family brick light keeper's house with basement, a brick fog signal building, an oil house, two frame barns, a boat house and landing, a tramway, a lighthouse tower, and a brick service room entrance building.
