Big Bay de Noc

As with the more thickly-settled Little Bay de Noc, the bay's name comes from the Noquet (or Noc) Native American people (thought to have been related to the Menominee of the Algonquian language group), who once lived along the shores.

The bay is historically important for its 19th-century use as a center of the Lake Michigan

A lighthouse, the Peninsula Point Light, marks the entrance of the bay.^[2]
