EspañolWHITEFISH BAY
:''There is also the village of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin on Lake Michigan.''
'Whitefish Bay' is a large bay on the eastern end of Lake Superior between Michigan and Ontario. It begins in the north and west at Whitefish Point in Michigan, about 10 miles north of Paradise, Michigan and ends at the St. Marys River at Sault Ste. Marie on the southeast. The international boundary runs through the bay, which is heavily used by northbound and southbound ship traffic and has historically been the site of many shipwrecks. A portion is an underwater diving preserve. Whitefish Point is the home of a former Coast Guard station and Whitefish Point Lighthouse is the oldest active light on Lake Superior. Part of the lighthouse station houses the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, which includes information on the wreck of the ''Edmund Fitzgerald''. The point is also a popular place for rock collectors, ship watchers, squirrel feeders, and bird watchers. The eastern side of the bay on the Ontario side is more rugged, largely wilderness Canadian Shield.
