At one time, the range light in Point Clark was a lantern hung in a coastal pine-tree. In the 1850s, Point Clark was one of the “imperial towers” built by John Brown. Built of limestone from nearby Inverhuron, the Point Clark lighthouse stands 26.5 m (80 feet) high. It's about 18 km south of Kincardine. The light keeper’s quarters, built at the same time as the lighthouse, is now a museum operated by the Township of Huron-Kinloss. It's a climb of 114 steps to the light room. The view from the top is spectacular. Special sunset tours are available by appointment. There is a gift shop on site.
Guided tours are available by appointment Thursday to Sunday at a cost of $5 per person.
