Pipe Island Light is a privately owned lighthouse on Pipe Island in St. Mary's River, Michigan.[3] It was lit in 1888 by the Lake Carriers Association to help ships entering St. Mary's River from Lake Huron.[1][4] In 2005 three cottages and the Victorian keeper's dwelling were made available for overnight stays.
