WHITE SHOAL LIGHT, MICHIGAN

The White Shoal Light is a lighthouse located 20 miles west of the Mackinac Bridge in Lake Michigan. At a height of 121 feet, it is the tallest lighthouse on the Great Lakes. The White Shoal Light is the sole “aluminum-topped” lighthouse on the Great Lakes; most of the other lanterns are cast iron. The highly visible diagonal Daymark paint job, sometimes described as red and white ‘candy cane stripe’ is the only ‘barber pole’ lighthouse in the United States. White Shoal Light is one of over 150 past and present lighthouses in Michigan. Michigan has more lighthouses (still standing) than any other state with over 120 listed. (A scaled-down replica of this light was built on Lake Havasu at Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Located on the Lake Havasu Island Golf Course, the light is operational and was dedicated on November 2, 2008).
