Every trip to Michigan,  we love to visit as many lighthouses as we can! 

Wawatam Lighthouse, St Ignace
Cheboygan Crib Rear Lighthouse
Cheboygan Pier Front Lighthouse
Cheboygan Front Range Lighthouse
Cheboygan River River Range Lighthouse
40 Mile Point Lighthouse, 40 nautical miles from from Old Mackinac Point

This is the last working lighthouse with a fourth order Fresnel lens on Lake Huron, one of only 16 on the Great Lakes.

You can tour this lighthouse inside and climb to the top and see the lens

4th order Fresnel Lens

Right off the Point,  in 1905 a steamer, the Joseph S Fay sunk and broke apart.  Remnants of its left side treat on the beach still.

Presque Isle has several lighthouses.

New Presque Isle Lighthouse
Old Presque Isle Lighthouse
