A popular spot for fishing, cycling, walking and birding, the lighthouse and pier have played an integral part in the lives of Huronites for years. It is maintained by the United States Coast Guard. The blockhouse which served as the base for the lighthouse before the pier was extended in 1936, is now an observation deck.
