Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse Opening Day
May 5, 2026 @ 9:00 am - 4:30 pm EDT
Come see why some things were just meant to be seen. Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse opens for the 2026 season! Tour the tower, experience the Fog Signal Whistle, and explore the “Castle on the Straits.”
A point in the storm and a guiding beacon since 1889, Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse helped passing ships navigate through the treacherous waters of the Straits of Mackinac. Authentically restored quarters and exhibits, including the original lens, a chance to explore the second floor of the house, tours of the lighthouse tower, a movie, Shipwrecks of the Straits, and the Straits of Mackinac Shipwreck Museum make this “Castle of the Straits” a true gem of the Great Lakes. #thisismackinac
