... Grand Haven, Michigan Lighthouses ...
Established in 1839, there are two lights on the south pier.
The south pier is currently under re-construction.
Both lights are painted red and are normally connected by a lighted catwalk.
The catwalk connects them to the shore and the Grand Haven Boardwalk.
The catwalk is currently removed to facilitate pier reconstruction.
The inner light is cylindrical.
The outer light (foghouse) stands on a huge concrete foundation
and is often referred to as the "boathouse" because of its
shape.
.
People often enjoy a stroll along the boardwalk that borders the Grand
River channel and the pier,
making the Grand Haven lighthouses one of the most photographed
lighthouses in the Midwest.
The Grand Haven pier is also a popular spot for fishing and catching the
sunset.
