My primary source for this list is Great Lakes Lighthouses: American & Canadian, by Wes Oleszewski, unless otherwise noted. I will supplement with other sources as necessary, indicating when I have done so, in order to compile the most inclusive list possible. I will start with the lighthouses on the eastern most point of the lake, on the U.S. side (NY State), and make my way westward along the U.S. side of the lake. At Toledo we cross over to the other side of the lake and make our way back eastward, quickly crossing over to the Canadian side. Lighthouses with links are ones that I have visited and have made a page about.
