Point Iroquois Light stands on the southern shore of Whitefish Bay in Bay Mills Township, Chippewa County, Michigan. Built in 1855, this historic lighthouse guided ships through the treacherous narrows where Lake Superior meets the St. Marys River. The light remains active today, a working beacon with over 170 years of service.

The lighthouse grounds are open to visitors, though the tower itself is not open for climbing. The adjacent beach and boardwalk offer excellent vantage points for photography, with golden hour and autumn foliage providing the most dramatic backdrops.

Nearby, visitors can explore the Hiawatha National Forest, the Bay Mills Indian Community, and the eastern Upper Peninsula’s pristine shoreline. The Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie sit just 20 miles east.
