Whitefish Point Light Station


Our second stop of the day was the Whitefish Point Light Station.  It is the oldest operating lighthouse on Lake Superior and has been in continuous service since 1861.  We walked around the station and the grounds and even wandered down on the beach.  It reminded us of the beaches in Washington because of all of the huge pieces of driftwood - sometimes full trees.

The beach on Lake Superior - it is too foggy to see the lake!


I believe this building is used by the Coast Guard

Now it is on to our next stop for the day - Point Iroquois Light.
