Question: No U.S. state has more lighthouses than Michigan. About how many stand watch along its Great Lakes shoreline?

Answer: More than 120 lighthouses, the most of any state, are strung along Michigan’s 3,200 miles of freshwater shoreline. These historic landmarks once helped guide ships through the Great Lakes’ treacherous waters, and several remain open to visitors for tours and maritime history exhibits.
