The Beaver Head Lighthouse is situated high up on a bluff at the south end of Beaver Island at Beaver Head and was originally constructed back in 1858. It was later decommissioned in 1962 and now stands as a site for tourists and locals alike to explore and enjoy. Throughout the summer season, visitors can climb the Beaver Head Lighthouse and take in the panoramic views in the decagonal lantern room of the lake waters below. The 46-foot Beaver Head Lighthouse is considered a treasured mid-1800’s lighthouse of the Great Lakes.
