Point Clark Lighthouse, Navigation lighthouse on Lake Huron shore, Canada

The limestone tower rises 26.5 meters high with walls that measure 5 feet thick at the base and 2 feet near the top.

Construction of this maritime structure took place from 1855 to 1859 under the supervision of contractor John Brown for the Province of Canada.

The lighthouse keeper's residence has been transformed into a museum that presents exhibits about maritime navigation and coastal life in Ontario.

Tours operate daily from June 28 until Labor Day between 10:30 AM and 5:00 PM, with guided visits departing every thirty minutes.

The structure features twelve bronze lion heads at the top that direct rainwater away from the cast iron lantern frame.
