North Manitou Island Shoal Light was built in the Manitou Passage atop a hazardous shoal in 1935. It replaced a light that had operated on the island's shore since 1898. That light is no longer standing. From 1910 to 1927, a lightship also helped mark the dangerous area. The current shoal light was automated in 1980, stands 63 feet tall and is similar in design and appearance to the Lansing Shoal Light. The light is visible upon arrival to the island.
