TELESCOPE Page 6 eae aor " This lighthouse is one of the author's favorite structures. The White River Light Station was built of limestone in 1875. It is not easy to find, but ask questions locally and head for the lake. The light is located five miles west of Whitehall at the mouth of the White Lake Channel and was built at the request of Capt. William Robinson, who became its keeper for 47 years. He was replaced by his son-in-law, who kept the light for 22 more years. The fourth Fresnel lens is now out, but the structure houses a fascinating museum open in the summer. Take the old roads closest to the lake from Whitehall and ask questions to find the 80-foot tall brick toron of Little Sable Light. It's intact and has a second order Fresenel lens still in the tower. The beach is glorious and the fruit trees in the dunes give evidence of the care of a long forgotten keeper.
