Cheboygan has several structures dealing with Lighthouses, first there is the Cheboygan River broad range Lighthouse. This building was erected in an 1870 and housed the keepers of the no longer in service Cheboygan Lhitehouse. Government workers still use the two-story building and it is not open to the public. Just up the road from this building is this Cheboygan crib light, which is not out in water however it has been pulled to safety after many years of service in the waters of Lake Huron. The light is only 25 feet tall but is freshly painted and makes for wonderful addition to the city park. It sits at the base o of a pier that runs approximately 300 feet out into like. The year, the park, and the old Crib Lighthouse is very accessible although Sandy. Cheboygan also has Lighthouse ruins, located in the Cheboygan State Park these ruins were abandoned in 1920 and are about a mile and a half walked back on a small path . You can however from the Ruins see two existing Lighthouses, sitting off the shore in Lake Huron.
