Classic red-brick lighthouse on the St. Clair River with a long pier, shipping channel and historic fort grounds. Shoot architectural details, river reflections, passing freighters, and dramatic skies. Best at sunrise for warm light on the tower and calm water; blue hour for illuminated lantern. Parking available at Fort Gratiot Light Station Park; tower tours and hours are seasonal—check local site. Expect stairs in tower and moderate crowds in summer.
