The Ile Parisienne Light was built in 1911 on the southern tip of remote Ile Parisienne in the middle of Whitefish Bay on Lake Superior on a major shipping lane for ingress/egress to the Soo Locks.[2][3][4][5] It is now a well-known landmark to shipping traffic and pleasure craft. The light is automated and remains seasonally active.
