St. Joseph Lighthouse

This is a charming view of the St. Joseph Lighthouses on Silver Beach that is on Lake Michigan. The St. Joe lighthouse that tourists and locals alike enjoy today was constructed at the end of a wooden pier extending out into lake Michigan in 1846. In 1907 and 1919 the city built the north and south piers that enabled boats easier access into the mouth of the St. Joe River. The lights on these piers are still operating today as one of the Great Lake’s last remaining pier range light systems. The catwalk, which was originally built for access to the lighthouse by the keepers during rough seas, is still accessed by walkers, runners and bikers today.
