This is one of our local lighthouses. It is at our public beach here in Ludington, on the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan. There is a long pier going out to the lighthouse. It is a favorite walk for people to take while here in Ludington. Also is a favorite place for fisherman. When the wind is blowing it can also be a dangerous place to walk. A young man was knocked off by a big wave last week and no one could save him.Lake Michigan has been quite dangerous this year and needs to be respected for its power.
Six people have lost their lives in Lake Michigan at Ludington just this summer. In all the great lakes, many more lives have been lost this year. Very sad way to end a vacation. Please be careful and watch out for bad weather, large waves and rip tides.
