Round Island (Michigan)

Bordering a shoreline of cobblestones, cobblestones/sand, and sandy beach is a conifer forest that includes northern whitecedar, white spruce, and white pine.

On the Island's height is a mature beech-maple forest featuring sugar maple, paper birch, and some American beech,[1] although the beech population was hard-hit by disease in the 21st century.

The sole building on the island (and sole land parcel that is not designated wilderness) is the Round Island Light, a lighthouse constructed in 1895.

Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour can be seen sitting near the lighthouse in the 1980 movie Somewhere in Time which was filmed primarily on Mackinac Island.
