Rawley Point Light
Lake Michigan · Wisconsin
Rawley Point Light stands on the sandy shores of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, where it has guided mariners since 1874. The current skeletal steel tower, erected in 1894, replaced the original brick structure and remains an active aid to navigation under U.S. Coast Guard operation. Its distinctive open-framework design makes it one of the most recognizable lighthouses on Lake Michigan’s western shore. While the grounds are not open to public access, the tower photographs beautifully from Point Beach State Forest, particularly at sunrise when golden light catches the steel lattice against the lake. Nearby, visitors can explore the Two Rivers History Museum, enjoy miles of undeveloped beach trails, and sample the town’s claim to fame as the birthplace of the ice cream sundae.
