Au Sable Light is an active lighthouse in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore west of Grand Marais, Michigan off H-58. Until 1910, this aid to navigation was called "Big Sable Light" (not to be confused with Big Sable Point Light[7] near Ludington, Michigan on Lake Michigan or Little Sable Point Light south of Pentwater, Michigan).
