The Munising Front Range Light and its matching Munising Rear Range Light replaced the ineffective Grand Island East Channel Light in 1905. These two lights combine to guide boats from the open waters of Lake Superior down the East Channel next to Grand Island into the harbor of Munising. The history of these lighthouses is documented by Terry Pepper and is not reproduced here. The Front Range Light is located at the western edge of Munising north of M-28. At this time, the light is managed by the National Park Service, the grounds are open to visitors, but the tower is closed.
