Grand Haven Lighthouse (Michigan)

Visited the Grand Haven Lighthouse on Lake Michigan on Tuesday July 10, 2007 (see the photos that I posted on Flickr). You can go to Grand Haven State Park and walk down the pier to the lights. We went on a day when the storms had just passed and the waves were still going strong. It is a great walk (be careful of the waves hitting the pier) and definitely worth the visit.

I will hopefully be visiting this on the way to Cooperstown this month. The lighthouse sits beautifully over Rochester harbor, where the Genesee River flows into Lake Ontario. I will have some information after I visit it.

Site has great photos and information about the history of the lighthouse.
