Description
The Sand Point Lighthouse is located on the west side of Keweenaw Bay at the Ojibwa Campground and Recreation Area in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Owned by the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, the keepers dwelling has recently been restored to its original design. The dwelling is not open, but visitors are welcome to tour the grounds.
The Sand Point Light Station was first lit in 1878 and replaced by a steel skeletal tower at the shoreline in 1922. This automated light is presently an active aid to navigation in Keweenaw Bay. The keepers dwelling is red brick with white trim and a square brick tower that once contained a fifth order Fresnel lens. The Sand Point Lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
