Cana Island Lighthouse

Cana Island Lighthouse

Established in 1870, the Cana Island Lighthouse is still operational and operational. It is a white lighthouse with a yellow and red attached house. It is accessible only on foot and you have to trudge through 2 or 3 feet of water. (I made the mistake of wearing flip-flops, not a good idea) The water is really cold and the floor bottom is full of rocks. Wear good shoes to cross.

Cana Island Lighthouse

Once a spot known only to the locals, Cana Island has become a major site for visitors. Getting there is still a bit of a challenge as the light house is on a small island accessible by a stone causeway, usually under water. Lake Michigan is COLD and the causeway is rocky, so I recommend wearing tennis shoes or other footwear to make the crossing. Once on the island I'm told there is now an entrance fee (5.00). The light house is across the island but it's an easy hike and quite picturesque although entrance is not allowed. The rocky shores of the island make fun exploring and great photo ops.
