Little Traverse Light
Lake Michigan · Michigan
Little Traverse Light stands at the entrance to Little Traverse Bay in Harbor Springs, Michigan, where it has guided mariners since 1884. Built during a period of rapid Great Lakes shipping expansion, this compact square tower remains an active navigational aid maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard. Its picturesque setting against the bay makes it a favorite among lighthouse enthusiasts and photographers. The lighthouse is not open to public tours or climbing, but it can be viewed and photographed from the surrounding shoreline. Golden hour on summer evenings offers the best light, with the bay as a stunning backdrop. Nearby, visitors can explore downtown Harbor Springs, Petoskey’s Gaslight District, and the scenic Tunnel of Trees drive along M-119.
