Seul Choix Point Lighthouse stands on the northern shore of Lake Michigan in Mueller Township, Schoolcraft County. Built in 1892, this brick light station has guided mariners through the treacherous waters near the Straits of Mackinac for over a century. Its name, French for “only choice,” reflects the point’s role as the sole natural harbor along this stretch of coastline. The lighthouse remains an active navigational aid and is not open to public climbing. Photographers find the best light during golden hour, when the tower glows against Lake Michigan’s expansive backdrop. Nearby, visitors can explore Palms Book State Park and its crystal-clear Kitch-iti-kipi spring, Michigan’s largest freshwater spring, just a short drive west.
