Item Description
Enjoy a special private tour for two of Michigan's historic Spectacle Reef Lighthouse, located in the middle of Lake Huron.
Spectacle Reef Light stands vigil in northern Lake Huron about 18 miles east of Cheboygan, Michigan marking one of the most treacherous stretches of the Straits of Mackinac. An engineering feat, construction started on the spectacle shaped reef (hence the name) in 1870 and was completed four years later with the Light entering service in June of 1874. It is the most expensive lighthouse on the Great Lakes and is made of interlocking, hand cut limestone blocks with a height of 86 feet above the water and was equipped with a second order Fresnel lens with a range of up to 28 miles.
Transportation to and from the light station is provided.
Includes a One-Year Membership to the Spectacle Reef Preservation Society:
Spectacle Reef Preservation Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit formed in 2020 with the purpose to preserve, interpret, and operate the light station as an education center for the public. The Society plans to host residential keeper programs, tours, weekend and day events, as well as many educational events at the light and the surrounding areas on shore. Restoration is ongoing, and the Society is always looking for new volunteers who wish to save, teach and learn about the history of the light and other lights, the Straits of Mackinac and greater Great Lakes region.
