Ontonagon is at the mouth of the Ontonagon River at Lake Superior.
Picture
Ontonagon Lightouse is now on the National Register of Historical Places. As ship traffic increased on Lake Superior lighthouses became more important. In 1847 this was commissioned.
Picture
Part way between Houghton and Ontonagon another lighthouse was needed. This was called the Fourteen Mile Point. It was built in 1890 and was in service for 50 years.
In  1984 a fire gutted the building and I see it is for sale for  $795,000 with  surrounding acreage. Have you ever thought of living in a lighthouse.

Porcupine Mountain Wilderness State Park. 60,000 acres makes it the State's largest . Ninety miles of hiking trails.
