About Kissimmee Lighthouse
A 6.5-meter round brick tower painted black, the Kissimmee Lighthouse was built and activated in 1999. It stands on an artificial peninsula within Kissimmee's Lakefront Park, extending into Lake Tohopekaliga. The lighthouse emits a white light with a characteristic of 'Rot W', visible for 9.5 nautical miles. The structure includes a lantern and gallery, with the lantern itself being black. While the grounds are open to the public, the tower is closed. This light guides recreational boaters on the lake.
Why it matters: The Kissimmee Lighthouse serves as a visual landmark on Lake Tohopekaliga, marking the end of an artificial peninsula near the Kissimmee marina.
