With 3,126 miles of coastline, Michigan has over 120 lighthouses to see and visit, and they are all included in this app. For each lighthouse you will see photos, historical descriptions, which lighthouses you can visit, towers you can climb, museums to enjoy, lighthouse locations, phone numbers, times to visit, links to national parks and additional sites, and which lighthouses are part of a Lighthouse Keepers Association that have volunteer keeper programs for periods that range from weekend duty to two years. Schepler's Ferry in Mackinaw and Keweenaw Excursions in Charlevoix offer lighthouse cruises. Michigan lighthouses in Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and the Straits of Mackinac are all included in the app. Travel the Michigan coastline and enjoy the spectacular scenic views and fascinating history of each lighthouse. Plan a Michigan lighthouse trip with the family this summer!
