Two Harbors North Pierhead Light

Two Harbors, Minnesota, USA

Lake Superior

This small lighthouse sits at the end of an L-shaped concrete pier extending into Lake Superior at Two Harbors. Built in the 1940s, the tower is 25 feet high with an octagonal-shaped lantern room. The steel legs let heavy waves pass beneath the lighthouse during storms.

This light is nearly identical in design to several other pierhead lights on Lake Superior. (See Grand Marais, MN; Grand Marais, MI; Ontonagon, MI; Marquette, MI.)
