About the Light:

  Moved to its present location in 1916, the current light was automated in 1976. The light tower itself stands 40feet above the lake and is constructed of steel and iron plate. This site is an operational facility administered bv the U.S. Coast Guard and so is not open to the public. A light buff keen on getting close to the structure to view or photograph it would have to go by boat.
