One of the oldest lighthouses on the lakes, Grand Traverse Lighthouse was built in 1852 and is over 150 years old! Grand Traverse Lighthouse is located at the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula which separates Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay. This location offers breathtaking views of both Grand Traverse Bay as well as Lake Michigan; but you will get an even more magnificent view of both through the lighthouse viewing telescope.

The Lighthouse sits inside Leelanau State Park and the viewing area offers exhibits such as the Grand Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve, Native American Settlements of the Area, History of Grand Traverse Light, and more. There are also grills available, a playground for the kids, as well as a gift shop! This truly is an incredible location and sight worth seeing - be sure to add it to the list!
