Lighthouses

Sunday, August 18, 2019 - Cheboygan, MI

It was a little windy to be out on the lake, so we decided to go check out a couple of lighthouses in Cheboygan on the shores of Lake Huron. Our first stop was at Old Mackinac Point.

They had a small museum downstairs.  This is the one of the lights that was in this lighthouse, but was replaced in 1913.

After going through the downstairs we made our way up to the lighthouse.

It was a beautiful view and the lake looked very calm.  Here is a picture of the lighthouse from the ground.

Here is some information on the lighthouse.

Very interesting read.

Here is a picture of the Mackinac bridge from the lighthouse grounds.

Next we went over to McGulpin Point Lighthouse

And went up into the lighthouse and got some great pictures.  We could see why it was not visible from all directions.

After seeing the grounds of the lighthouse we went on a short trail they had down to the water.  Along the path they had signs telling of the life of the family that worked and lived here.  More than one of the figurines startled me.  :)

We finally made it to the shore and saw the rock we read about.  Something about the Indians using it to tell the depths of the lake.

After a couple of hours sight seeing we went to dinner at Darrow's Family Restaurant.  And we would highly recommend it if you are ever in the area.

It was another wonderful day!
