Lion's Head Light, Replica lighthouse in Lion's Head, Ontario, Canada.

The wooden lighthouse stands 28 feet tall at the edge of Georgian Bay, featuring a square pyramidal tower with a balcony and red lantern.

The first lighthouse from 1903 underwent multiple reconstructions until 1969, when the Canadian Coast Guard replaced it with a metal post and light.

Students from Bruce Peninsula District School constructed a replica lighthouse in 1983, using original 1903 blueprints and funds from the Rotary Club.

The lighthouse marks the entrance to Lion's Head Harbor, situated near public washrooms, benches, and the marina with various recreational facilities.

Located at the 45th parallel, exactly between the equator and North Pole, the structure stands beneath limestone cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment.
