Its shoreline location also makes it easily accessible to tour. About 18 kms south of Kincardine, the lighthouse is open for tours during the summer. The lightkeeper's quarters, built at the same time as the lighthouse, is now a museum operated by the Township of Huron-Kinloss. Sturdy shoes and a head for heights are a must for the climb up nine flights of stairs--a total of 114 steps--to the light room. The view from the top is spectacular and worth the climb! Group tours are available in May and June...please phone ahead!

Replacing a lantern hung in a pine tree
as a warning for mariners, the Point Clark lighthouse was one of the
first “imperial towers” to flash its light. Six of these
majestic towers were built by John Brown on Lake Huron and Georgian
Bay in the 1850s. Built of limestone from nearby Inverhuron, the Point
Clark lighthouse stands 26.5 metres (80 feet) high.
