The Asylum Light is located just north of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in Winnebago County, Wisconsin. The lighthouse is located on a small island just a few feet away from the mainland in Asylum Bay on Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin.
This lighthouse marks the separation between North and South Asylum Bays. Access can be had by traveling a small footbidge across the channel.[1]
