Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse

Don’t miss Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse in Mackinaw City — a must-see destination that delights visitors of all ages and backgrounds visiting Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

This is Mackinac.
A point in the storm and a guiding beacon since 1889, Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse helped passing ships navigate through the treacherous waters of the Straits of Mackinac. Authentically restored quarters and exhibits, including the original lens, a chance to explore the second floor of the house, tours of the lighthouse tower, a movie, Shipwrecks of the Straits, and the Straits of Mackinac Shipwreck Museum make this “Castle of the Straits” a true gem of the Great Lakes.
