The Charlevoix South Pier Light Station, located at the entrance to Lake Charlevoix in Charlevoix, Michigan, was established in 1914 and features a wooden pier construction with a skeletal tower shape. The current tower was first lit in 1948 and operates as an active aid to navigation.
Originally built to assist ships navigating between Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix, the lighthouse played a crucial role in maintaining open shipping lanes along the Pine River. With its historical significance and distinctive fifth-order Fresnel lens, the Charlevoix South Pier Light Station stands as a beacon of maritime heritage in the region.
