Not open to the public, the Port Dalhousie Range Front Lighthouse stands at the far end of the east…read morepier of Port Dalhousie. As part of the improvements made during the construction of the second version of the Welland Canal, a new harbor (harbour?) was built at Port Dalhousie that provided a depth of twelve feet instead of eight-and-a-half feet. Parallel piers were carried roughly 2,000 feet out into Lake Ontario In 1878, a square, wooden tower was built at the end of a new pier, about 300 feet north of the existing main lighthouse, to form a set of range lights for entering the canal. It is a sturdy, square, wooden lighthouse with a substantial bracketed platform enclosed by a pipe railing and crowned by an octagonal metal lantern. At the end of the pier, you can walk completely around the lighthouse though I think my favorite picture is from the west side of the canal inlet. I was here in the morning - I'll bet the sunsets here are fantastic. [Review 1481 of 2024 - 158 in Ontario - 22504 overall]
