North Manitou Island Light stood at Dimmick's Point on North Manitou Island as a Lake Michigan lighthouse and fog signal station marking the Manitou Passage. Operating from 1899 to 1935, it helped guide vessels through the busy water between the island and the mainland with a fourth-order Fresnel lens and an oil-fired foghorn. Its exposed shoreline made the site fragile, and after North Manitou Shoal Light replaced it in 1935, the property was privatized in 1938. Erosion destroyed the lighthouse tower in 1942, the lightkeeper's dwelling disappeared in the early 1970s, and by 2017 only fragments were reported to remain.
