Kincardine Lighthouse, Heritage lighthouse in Kincardine, Canada.
The octagonal tower rises 24 meters above Lake Huron, featuring a red iron lantern and balcony atop a stone foundation and keeper's house.
The lighthouse, completed in 1881, guided vessels through Kincardine's harbor during the peak of its fishing, lumber, and salt-shipping industries.
The marine museum within the lighthouse exhibits artifacts and documents chronicling the maritime heritage of Kincardine and its lighthouse keepers.
Visitors can climb 69 steps across three levels to reach the observation deck, which provides views of Lake Huron and Kincardine harbor.
A bagpiper performs from the tower platform during summer evenings, continuing a tradition that began with the Scottish settlers of Kincardine.
