McGulpin Point Lighthouse, a tan brick structure with a light tower in one corner.

McGulpin Point Lighthouse stands prominently at the edge of Lake Michigan, serving as an active navigational aid for vessels crossing the Straits of Mackinac.

The lighthouse is situated just south of McGulpin Rock, a notable formation protruding from the lake that has provided its own navigational aid to travelers past. An octagonal light tower stretches up from the corner of the attached keeper’s dwelling, both made from the same wheat-colored brick.

The combination of the lighthouse’s architectural charm and the stunning natural beauty of the McGulpin Point region make it a popular destination for visitors seeking to experience the unique character of Northern Michigan.
