The Wisconsin Peninsula Door, which juts out into Lake Michigan, is home to some very interesting lighthouses. One of the headliners of the lake's waterfront is Cana Island Lighthouse. This well-preserved 89-foot tower sits on a nine-acre island, with grandiose views of the surrounding lake. The well-preserved house of the lighthouse keeper is located nearby. Visitors can climb 97 steps of stairs to reach a light that was once powered by oil supplied from a local storage container. One of the best features of the top of the lighthouse tower is the outdoor deck, which offers a bird's eye view of the landscapes of the surrounding Great Lakes.
