Lighthouses of Lake Michigan

59 Cana Island (WI 27)
June 10, 2004
latitude 45° 5' 17.9" N
longitude 87° 2' 57.1" W

The Cana Island light is a complement to the lights above - intended to get sailors safely into Bailey's Harbor (or at least safely past the rocks that surround it).  As we visited it, the Island is actually a peninsula, with a natural causeway about 6" to 1' above the lake level.  With lake levels low, you can imagine how wet that causeway can be when either the lake is higher or the winds are stronger (in high winds, the wave splash hits the power wires over the causeway).
