Mississagi Lighthouse
A wooden lighthouse built in 1873 at the island's far western tip, now a small museum with a campground and lakeshore trail nearby.
Mississagi Lighthouse was built in 1873 to guard the Mississagi Strait between Lake Huron and the North Channel. It is now open as a museum, showing the lives of the lightkeepers and the history of nearby shipwrecks. Beside it are a campground, a restaurant and a lakeshore limestone trail, and it is an excellent spot for watching the sunset. Reach it from the village of Meldrum Bay along about 10 km of gravel road. Road conditions are fair, and it is about 1.5 hours' drive from the island's centre.
