Lake Havasu is home to more lighthouses than any other city in America. These 1/3 scale replicas are actual functioning navigational aids, built to the specifications of famous East and West Coast lighthouses. More than 15 currently dot the shores of the lake, with several others planned.

Lake Havasu Marina Lighthouse
 

Sponsored by: The Lake Havasu Marina

Location: Lake Havasu Marina entrance

 

This Lighthouse was actually the precurser to the formation of the Lighthouse Club. It was the inspiration that set our Lighthouse Club Plan into action. It is located at the Lake Havasu Marina entrance and is a valuable aid to our lake navigation.

The original West Quoddy light is located in Lubec, Maine and is the furthest Northeast lighthouse in the U.S. The West Quoddy replica was the first lighthouse erected by the Lake Havasu Lighthouse Club.

 

Cape Hatteras Light (North Carolina)

 

Sponsored by: Steve Greely, Owner of KJJJ & KNTR Radio

Dedicated: October 27, 2002

Location: Windsor State Park (Jet Ski Ramp)

 

The Cape Hatteras Light, at 193' is the tallest brick lighthouse in the U.S. and is located in Buxton, North Carolina. In approximately 1851 this light was raised from its original height of 95' to 150' to provide better visibility. After the Civil War, it was rebuilt to 193' and closer to the water, again to improve visibilty. The tower received a new first-order Fresnel lens and put into operation in 1871. Because of beach erosion, the Cape Hatteras Light has been moved to safety and now sits at it's original distance to the water. Our replica of this light is 30' tall and, appropriately is the tallest on Lake Havasu.

 
Robert Manning Light (Michigan)
 

Sponsored by: Crazyhorse Campgrounds

Dedicated: February 2, 2003

Location: On the Island at the entrance to Crazyhorse Campground Marina

 

The Robert R. Manning Light, located in Empire, Michigan was established in 1991 and is the youngest lighthouse in the United States. You may be asking who is Robert R. Manning and why does he have a lighthouse? According to several books Manning was a resident of Empire and a local fisherman. Every day he could get out onto the lake, he was there. He had often commented about how much a lighthouse would help him back into shore. When he passed away, his family decided to honor him by having a lighthouse created.

 
Buffalo Main Light (New York) --------------------------------------------------------------Return to Top
 

Sponsored by: Coldwell Banker The Judd Group

Dedicated: October 26, 2003

Location: At the south entrance to the Bridgewater Channel

 

The Main Buffalo Light is an architecturally stunning tower that sits at the entrance to the Erie Canal, and was built in 1833. The original light was deemed inadequate for the increased ship traffic entering and exiting the Buffalo River. The 66 foot tower was only active until 1914, when another breakwater light took over. That breakwater light was rammed several times by ships, and nearly destroyed by a major blow in 1958. The Main Buffalo Light was restored in the 1980's and outfitted with a replacement lens.

 
Split Rock Lighthouse (Minnesota)
 

Sponsored by: Neil Esmay Family

Dedicated: January 4, 2004

Location: On the NW corner of the Site Six Channel

 

The original Split Rock Light is located on the North Shore of Lake Superior near Two Harbors Minnesota. In the early 20th century, iron ore shipments on Lake Superior doubled and redoubled. United States Steel's bulk ore carriers became "the greatest exclusive freight-carrying fleet sailing under one ownership in the world," so the demand for a new lighthouse on the lake's inhospitable North Shore was hardly surprising. A single storm on Nov. 28, 1905, damaged 29 ships, fully one third of which were the uninsured property of the steel company fleet. Two of these carriers foundered on this rocky coastline, which some called "the most dangerous piece of water in the world." A delegation led by the steamship company president descended upon Washington, D.C., and in early 1907, Congress appropriated $75,000 for a lighthouse and fog signal in the vicinity of Split Rock.
