The Ashland Harbor Breakwater lighthouse, also known as Ashland Breakwater Lighthouse, is an operational
lighthouse located near
Ashland in
Ashland County,
Wisconsin, USA.[7] Located in
Chequamegon Bay of
Lake Superior, it is owned and managed by the National Park Service, and is a part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.[8] It sits at the end of a long and detached
breakwater, which creates an artificial harbor.[9]
A
lighthouse keeper's quarters and a boathouse, constructed in 1916, are located about 2 miles (3.2 km) from the light. There are additional living quarters on the second and third stories of the lighthouse.[10]
