Point Clark

Point Clark is a lakefront cottage community on Lake Huron, in the municipality of Huron-Kinloss, Ontario, Canada.

They were built at a time when commercial shipping traffic was increasing on the Great Lakes between Canada and the U.S. because of new trade agreements and the opening of the Sault Ste.

[1] All were made of cut limestone and granite, not of brick, metal, wood or concrete as most others were on the Great Lakes.

[2] The Point Clark Lighthouse was formally registered as one of the National Historic Sites of Canada on 25 May 1966.

[3] It is the only lighthouse on the Great Lakes and Georgian Bay to receive that highest level of merit.

The light keeper's house is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building, a place of historic interest (14 July 1994).

The entire facility including the tower, operated by the Township of Huron-Kinloss, can be toured from mid June to Labour Day for a fee.
