About Macomb County (Lake St. Clair) Lighthouses Lighthouse
This white, cylindrical tower stands 12 meters tall with a focal height of 14 meters on Lake St. Clair in Macomb County. Its square base supports the lookout tower structure. The lighthouse emits a single yellow flash every 4 seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. Located near Detroit, it is approximately 6.8 kilometers from Windsor, Canada, across the lake. The light remains operational, guiding vessels through this important freshwater channel.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is important for navigating the often-shallow and busy channels of Lake St. Clair, a critical link in the Great Lakes shipping route, helping both commercial vessels and recreational boaters maintain safe passage between Lake Huron and Lake Erie. Its distinctive square cylindrical lookout tower also contributes to its unique identity on the lake.
