About the Light:

  Erected as a replacement for the Buffalo Light ship which was sunk with all hands in the "Great Storm ot 1913," this light remains active. Painted red and white, the concrete structure appears to be constructed with fighting off the lake in mind. The site is on property that is not open to the public and although it can be reached by car, a pass with a motorboat may be the best way to see it. This light was also, featured in the 1995 made-for-TV movie "Lady Killer".
