Lake Michigan Lighthouse- Point Betsie The Great Lakes are a series of 5 freshwater lakes found in the north central United States. In this post I will share some fun facts about each of the lakes and I will also share some photos of lighthouses that I have taken while visiting the Great Lakes. Did you know that there are over 200 lighthouses that are currently active along the over 11,000 miles of coastline? Each lighthouse is unique, and my husband and I spent several years exploring these lighthouses and photographing all that we could reach by car.
