Forty Mile Stairway

The steps in the lighthouse tower. This light has a wide tower, and the stair is relatively tame. Forty Mile Point Lighthouse, near Rogers City, Michigan.

Downward Spiral

Forty Mile Point Lighthouse , near Rogers City, Michigan. The focal point of a fairly new county park, and of a surprisingly good maritime museum. The lady at the top of the steps--I suppose you'd call her a docent--had a fine spiel, answers to simple questions, and an engaging personality. She was waiting for the sailboats to appear....

Lighthouse at Forty Mile Point

Forty Mile Point was already a county park when we first visited this light a few years ago, and they were beginning to do the museum thing. But our memory of the trip is the miserable weather: Heavy rain, heavy fog. Much better this time. On Lake Huron, near Rogers City, Michigan.

Forty Mile Office

The lighthouse keeper at Forty Mile Point had a little office in the tower, just below the light, where he did the apparently-voluminous paperwork required by his bosses. Only a workable solution in such a wide tower, I'd think. Near Rogers City, Michigan.
