The lighthouse stands on the shores of Lake Michigan and is easily recognized because it is painted with black and white stripes. It can be reached by taking a beautiful walk in Ludington State Park.
Nordhouse Lake is a body of water within the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area. Near its shores run numerous trails that lead to the discovery of the park.
There's 5,300 acres of nature to explore at Ludington State Park. It's a great area for cycling, hiking and camping. Stretched along the shores of Lake Michigan, the park has sand dunes, forests, marshlands and plenty of spectacular views.
There are two lighthouses in Ludington: North Pierhead Lighthouse and this one, the North Breakwater Light. It was originally constructed in 1871. You can visit the lights for an $8 donation.
