Nestled among jack pines, and a nearly 2-mile walk along a breathtaking trail, stands Big Sable’s noble black and white tower. At over one hundred feet tall, this historic beacon is a huge attraction for its owner, Ludington State Park. The 1867 lighthouse and grounds are operated by SPLKA, which proudly manages four historic lighthouses within a 50-mile stretch of Lake Michigan’s shoreline. Since 1987, SPLKA's mission has been restoration, preservation, education, and increased accessibility of its lighthouses.
