Devils Island Light


Devils Island Light



The lighthouse on Devils Island is located on one of the 22 Apostle Islands in Wisconsin.   Devils Island was the last manned station in the Apostle Islands.   Finally, in 1978, the Devils Island light was automated as well.   The lighthouse at Devils Island is the only one among the Apostles group to retain its original Fresnel lens, though there was a three-year period when the lantern room was empty. The U. S.   Coast Guard removed the third order Fresnel lens from the tower in 1989 and replaced it with a smaller, plastic beacon.   The National Park Service repaired the lens and returned it to the tower as a display in 1992.

Gram and Pops visited here in August 2015.
