About the Light:

  This light originally marked the southern tip of Bois Blanc Island in the southern Detroit River. Modern aids to navigation soon over-populated the area and this light was deactivated. Today all that remains is the stone tower. Both the island and the light are privately owned and are being developed for residential use.
