About Peninsula Point Lighthouse

Peninsula Point Lighthouse is the oldest existing lighthouse in Michigan and has been a fixture of Delta County since 1868. Situated atop a rocky outcropping 40 feet above Lake Michigan, the site offers spectacular views from the top of its 56-foot granite and brick tower. Early pioneers in the county relied on the beacon of Peninsula Point to aid them safely across the lake, though today it serves primarily as an inland landmark with historical significance.
