Does the Mississippi River have any lighthouses? Are there any on inland waterways?

One that I know of is the Mark Twain Memorial Lighthouse, though it was never an official lighthouse

I've lived near the river at Baton Rouge since 1963 and I've cruised it extensively from just south of New Orleans to just north of Vicksburg, MS and I've never seen or heard of any lighthouses. Plenty of other lighted aids to navigation, but no lighthouses. There are some lighthouses in the Gulf of Mexico near the mouth of the river but they're not in the river.

None as you cross at LaCrosse, Wis. or St. Louis, Mo. Too Narrow to need them I guess!

Suzee: There are lighthouses on the Hudson River and the St. Lawrence River, also Lake Champlain and Lake Sunapee, NH.

There are also five remaining lighthouses on Lake Pontchartrain.

Lighthouses also on St. Clair River between Lake Huron and Lake St. Clair and on the Detroit River between Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie.
I think also on the St. Mary's River between Lake Superior and Lake Huron.
