==History==<br />
A Michigan Historic Marker commemorates the Two-Hearted Life-Saving Station built in 1876 at the river mouth. It was a simple two-story building with a small lookout tower manned by six to eight volunteer [[surfmen]] who conducted rescues of the ''Satellite'' (1879) and the ''Phineas S. Marsh'' (1896). The station, along with the rest of the [[United States Life-Saving Service]], was integrated into the [[U.S. Coast Guard]] in 1915, decommissioned in the 1930s, and its structures were razed in 1944.<ref>Michigan’s Historic Sites Online.
