USDA IROQUOIS LIGHTHOUSE
BRIMLEY, MI
The USDA Iroquois Lighthouse is located on the eastern shores of Lake Superior, near the community of Brimley, Michigan. Originally built in 1871, the lighthouse served as a key navigational aid for ships traveling through the treacherous waters of the Great Lakes. The tower stands at 45 feet tall and is constructed of brick with a cast-iron lantern room at the top. The lighthouse was automated in 1962 and the original fourth-order Fresnel lens was removed and replaced with a modern optic.
Today, the Iroquois Lighthouse is open to the public and offers tours during the summer months. Visitors can climb the spiral staircase to the lantern room, which offers stunning views of Lake Superior and the surrounding landscape. The lighthouse is also home to a small museum that tells the story of the lighthouse and its importance to the shipping industry on the Great Lakes.
In addition to its historical significance, the Iroquois Lighthouse is also a popular spot for birdwatching and wildlife viewing. The surrounding area is home to a variety of bird species, including bald eagles, ospreys, and peregrine falcons. The lighthouse is also located near several hiking trails and offers easy access to the nearby Tahquamenon Falls State Park. Overall, the USDA Iroquois Lighthouse is a must-see destination for anyone interested in the history and natural beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
