TELESCOPE Page 4 ESS Our tour starts at the harbor mouth of St. Joseph where an imposing two-part structure sits in the lake at the pierhead entrance to the harbor. North of St. Joseph is the South Haven Light built in 1872 and rebuilt in 1913. The visitor is advised to seek out and tour the Lake Michigan Maritime Museum while here for a fascinating glimpse at the history of the southern end of Lake Michigan. Proceeding up the coast to Holland State Park, a charming and picturesque old red lighthouse awaits. She was built in 1907 and rebuilt in 1936. This building is viewed from across the channel to Lake Macatawa because the structure is located on land owned by a resort and access is only open to members. All Photos by Author
