With one right here at our Park Place Hotel! Michigan has more lighthouses than any other state in the US, and the Traverse City area has several of them! Thanks to its history as a major port and its location on Grand Traverse Bay near the once-bustling Manitou Passage, Traverse City is a convenient base for exploring five historic lighthouses: Mission Point, Grand Traverse, South Manitou, North Manitou, and Point Betsie. Most of these lighthouse properties are open for outdoor exploration, but due to COVID19 social distancing, tours and museums are closed. Please call ahead for details.
