Come join us on beautiful Mackinac Island for a spring caching adventure! We will gather on the island in the morning at 10:00 am in the lower lobby of the Grand Hotel (Museum Room) for a brief get-together prior to venturing out to search for the island caches. Coffee and tea will be provided for attendees, along with a few other goodies to get your engines up and running! Please feel free to wear your sweatshirts and jeans, as there is no dress code in effect at this time of the year. There is also no admission charge into the hotel.
The Cyclops family has about 140 caches on the island, many of which have been placed in remote areas of the island where tourists would not normally go. It is advisable to bring your own bike, as the cache locations will take you traveling several miles around the perimeter and interior of the island. The ferry company charges $8.00 per bicycle to bring your bike over to the island. It is possible that there may be places on the island that offer bikes to rent, but I am unable to confirm this at this early date. Dinner will be on your own. There are several restaurants on the island which will be open at this time of the year.
Come join us on Mackinac Island for our 10th Annual Spring Fling!

OPEN HOUSE CANCELED: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Open House is canceled. Thank you for your understanding. – The Round Island Lighthouse Preservation Society
Come visit us at the Annual Round Island Lighthouse Open House on the second Saturday of July. Transportation from Mackinac Island is available by private fare.
Round Island Lighthouse is located on Round Island, which is part of the Hiawatha National Forest. For more information, visit the United States Forest Service website.
To see a virtual tour video of the inside of the lighthouse, click here.
2016 OPEN HOUSE: The 10th Annual Open House is scheduled for July 9, 2016 from 10AM till 4PM.
ABOUT THE ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE: Since 2007, an annual Open House has been hosted at the lighthouse each summer. This year Round Island Lighthouse Preservation Society and Boy Scout Troop 323 of Freeland, Michigan greeted over 200 people at the 9th Annual Open House. The scouts gave tours of the grounds, the Oil House and Privy, and of the 121 year old lighthouse. From 10AM to 4PM EST on July 11th, 2015, guests explored the historical lighthouse and learned about the history of the light station and the surrounding area.
PLEASE NOTE: In the event of bad weather, or waves that are too dangerous to navigate by our volunteers, we will have to cancel the open house, or close it down temporarily until conditions improve. Sometimes a cancellation comes about abruptly with sudden changes in conditions. We will do our best to convey a cancellation to the Mackinac Island Visitors Center and to the various ferry lines.

For 122 years, Round Island Lighthouse has stood stoic against the wind and weather in the Straits of Mackinac. Completed in 1895, the iconic Great Lakes beacon was originally manned by a crew of three. From 1924 to 1947, a sole light keeper occupied and operated the light station. When an automated beacon was constructed off the shore of Mackinac Island in 1947, the lighthouse was abandoned. The Round Island Lighthouse Preservation Society now maintains the lighthouse and offers an open house once a year to the public. 📸: ryanresatka #PureMichigan #MackinacIsland #LakeHuron #michiganlighthouse #roundislandlighthouse #MyMackinac mackinacisle
