Description
This light is on a very remote stretch of Lake Superior shoreline and it requires a long drive on single lane, gravel roads to reach-but that is half the fun of visiting this light! The station was closed in 1930, and in 1965 all of the buildings (except the tower) were razed. The light was finally deactivated in 1989. It is on the list of endangered lights and the local community is actively working to restore it.
