The Sturgeon Point Light Station is a lighthouse on Lake Huron in Haynes Township, Alcona County, northeastern lower Michigan.[8][9] Established to ward mariners off a reef that extends 1.5 miles (2.4 km) lakeward from Sturgeon Point,[1] it is today regarded as a historic example of a Cape Cod style Great Lakes lighthouse.[10]
