TRIP 02

North Manitou Shoal Light — "The Crib"

4 hours · Departs Fishtown, Leland

Locally known as "The Crib," the North Manitou Shoal Light station has been safely guiding ships through the Manitou Passage since 1935. Fully automated and abandoned by the Coast Guard in 1980, the lighthouse remained vacant for over 40 years.

In 2016, the lighthouse was purchased at auction by the nonprofit North Manitou Light Keepers and is undergoing a 2+ million dollar restoration. In 2021, the Light Keepers began the first public tours of the lighthouse in its 87-year history, with plans to eventually open the structure for overnight stays. Learn more about the restoration at NorthManitouLightKeepers.org.
