Grand Haven South Pierhead Entrance Light is the outer light of two lighthouses on the south pier of Grand Haven, Michigan where the Grand River enters Lake Michigan. A lighthouse was first lit there in 1839. [3] The lighthouse was put up for sale in 2009 under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act. [4] The City of Grand Haven now owns the pier, but it is maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers. [5]
