The Ultimate Light House Tour In The Lower Peninsula Of Michigan

Nikki Czuhajewski

I am one of the lucky people who is able to call the great state of Michigan my home. If you happen to live in the wondrous, mitten shaped place then you know all about the miles and miles of fresh coast. In addition, Michigan offers over a hundred lighthouses to explore. Check out this epic lighthouse tour below:

1. Little Sable Point Light House

Located in Mears, Michigan this light house is hidden between some of the largest sand dune you will ever see! Even better, you can climb to the top of this light house when the grounds are open.

2. South Haven South Pier Light House

Located in South Haven, Michigan along the shore of Lake Michigan. Super easy to access and makes for a fun trip.

3. Big Sable Point Light House

Located in Ludington State Park about a mile down a path the beautiful light house is beyond worth the effort.

4. Mission Point Light House

A bit of a nontraditional lighthouse compared to what most are used to, the Mission Point Light House is a beauty to visit. Located at the tip of the peninsula, take M37 and enjoy the views. You won't be disappointed.

5. Detroit River Walk Light

Located along the Detroit river, in the heart of downtown Detroit, this light house offers a fun destination along the river walk.

6. Point Bestie Light House

Located just a short drive from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, this light house is an absolute MUST to visit. The beautiful blues of Lake Michigan surround the light for an awe-inspiring view. If you come at the right time, you might get lucky and even see the Northern Lights.

7. St. Joseph Pier Light House

Located in St. Joseph/Benton Harbor, Michigan at Tiscornia Park, this pier walk is unlike most. There are two light structures located along it. This is an ideal adventure spot in the winter months. Photographers can capture the light completely enclosed in ice!

8. Grand Haven State Park

Located in Grand Haven, Michigan, this is a prime destination to watch the sunset or spend a warm summer day. Be sure to pack your sun glasses!

9. Frankfort North Breakwater Light

Located not far from the Point Bestie Light House in Frankfort, MI this is an ideal destination in the late fall/winter months for the surfers. The waves created off of the pier are perfect to catch a wave!

10. Tawas Point Light House

Located on the opposite side of the state along the shores of Lake Huron, the mighty Tawas Point Light House stands out well.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
