I visited Crisp Point years ago. The wave and ice over the years had washed the beach to the point that the lighthouse was leaning over looked like the leaning tower of Pizza. I understand the group working on the site has rectified the situation. If you ever get a chance to drive all the way back into the swamp the drive is totally worth. Found some ool stons at the mouth of the river

I am just curious to know if there are any wave washed lighthouses on the great lakes. I haven't seen any on the Canadian side.
