Cow Head Light, Municipal heritage lighthouse in Cow Head, Canada
The two-story steel lighthouse features a cylindrical tower with a white cupola and stands in the hollow of a promontory on Cow Head peninsula.
Built in 1909, the lighthouse guided ships into the harbor until 1979, when battery-operated harbor buoys replaced its navigational function.
The lighthouse grounds became a central meeting point where local families gathered for picnics after church services during summer months.
Visitors can access the lighthouse through a 1.5-kilometer loop trail starting from the amphitheater near the communication tower in Cow Head.
The structure contains original architectural elements including the steel plate cylindrical tower, wooden cupola, arched door, and second-story balcony with guide wires.
