Sturgeon Bay Canal Rear Light

This lighthouse offers a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and is constructed differently than the stereotypical lighthouse. It is a short walk to see and it nearby Sturgeon Bay and therefore easy to get to. You can see the red light house in the same stop. I wish you could go inside, but that option is not available.

Visited the historic Sturgeon Bay Canal Rear Light and captured some absolutely great pictures at dusk. This towering 1898 steel skeletal structure looks spectacular against the evening sky, making it an elite destination for maritime photography. The entire area is well-maintained and provides a beautiful, serene environment right next to the canal. Please note that because the light station sits adjacent to an active U.S. Coast Guard station, visitors must respect the posted boundary fences and restricted areas. It is a fantastic, peaceful spot to visit for sunset views and local history when exploring the peninsula.

If you are in the Sturgeon Bay area, it is definitely worth the trip out to see this.

We love going here and watching sunrises. It's about 3.5 hours from where we live and for us, we are always satisfied! Might not be for you but it is for us! if you like sitting on a pier and quietly listening to waves crash and seeing the mergansers swimming and catching fish or nesting on rocks... this is a great spot!
