Getting There
It is accessible only by small boat. Due to shallow water and dangerous reefs and shoals, any close approach to the island by boat is almost impossible (one source notes: "dangerous waters, and there are no facilities for landing on the island"); and the light is closed in any event.
Another alternative is to charter a seaplane to make a tour of the Mackinac Straits and environs.
The island can be accessed by sea kayak. Good weather and sea kayaking experience are imperative in such a venture.
