I've been to some very isolated parts of Lake Superior at night and it's still eerily dark as fuck even with the lighthouses, not to mention the spiders come out to the beach at night to join the mosquitoes and biting flies and there's no cell signal to find your way back if you get disoriented.

Those lighthouses are so far apart that you might not see them. And I know at least one lighthouse on this map isn't functional.
