The Isle Royale Lighthouse, or Menagerie Island Lighthouse is on long, rocky Menagerie Island via Isle Royale's south shore at the entry to Siskiwit Bay. Completed and operative in 1875, the light tower is a 61-ft octagonal red sandstone structure and is attached to the lightkeeper's house. Guiding ships into the harbor, the Isle Royale Lighthouse also warned Lake Superior shipping of the existence of the island's south shore.
The lighthouse is on the National Register of Historic Places.
