Middle Island Keepers' Lodge & Boat Tours Home Page
Join us for the ultimate outdoor experience on Middle Island! Located on majestic Lake Huron , Middle Island received
its name as a result of its location midway between the North Point of Thunder Bay and Presque Isle in Alpena county,
Michigan.
Encompassing approximately 300 acres of rugged natural beauty, Middle Island lies two miles offshore of a deserted
limestone quarry on northern Lake Huron. Once part of a busy light station, Middle Island still has plenty to offer its
guests- even if your only other residents are the white-tail deer, rabbits, song birds, seagulls, and an elusive bald
eagle. Middle Island is a true unspoiled outdoor retreat.
In 2003, final work was completed on the renovation of the former U.S. Coast Guard foghorn building, transforming it
into a rustic lodge. Now called the "Keeper's Lodge", guests can enjoy the unique experience of staying on an
uninhabited island while still having modern conveniences at their disposal.
A narrated cruise filled with shipwreck and island lore, and a tour of Middle Island's lighthouse is included with every
stay. We also invite you to enjoy some (or all) of the following:
