Port Clinton Light, Maritime beacon in Ottawa County, United States.
The Port Clinton Light stands 20 feet tall at the northern end of Water Works Park, featuring a square wooden tower with an octagonal lantern.
The original 1833 lighthouse, constructed from split stone, provided essential navigation assistance for vessels entering the harbor from Lake Erie until 1870.
The Port Clinton Lighthouse and Maritime Festival brings together local residents each August for duck races, art exhibitions, and antique boat displays.
Visitors can explore the lighthouse grounds and participate in guided tours every Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. for an admission fee of three dollars.
A replica fifth-order Fresnel lens illuminates the structure during special ceremonies, maintaining the legacy of this shortest lighthouse in Ohio.
