North Manitou Island Lifesaving Station, also known as North Manitou Coast Guard Station, is a complex of buildings located on North Manitou Island, which is part of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan, in the U.S. The complex was constructed as a life-saving station. It is the only remaining station which was in use during all three periods of lifesaving service history,[3] from the early volunteer period through operation by the United States Life-Saving Service and the United States Coast Guard.[4] It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1998.[2]
