With 3200 miles of shoreline, Michigan is home to the most lighthouses of any state, with 247 unique lighthouses under its belt over the history of the state and 124 remaining. That makes it pretty easy to just follow the shorelines of the great lakes and stop when you see one.

 According to Trip Advisor, here are the top 10 lighthouses to check out
