About Île Haute Lighthouse
Also known as: Île Haute (Isle Haute)
Île Haute Lighthouse stands on the summit of High Island, an island located 8 kilometers off Cape Chignecto. A square steel skeletal tower, it was built in 1956, the same year the previous structure on the site burned down. This modern tower stands 12 meters tall, with its light visible from a focal height of 112 meters. The white light flashes once every 4 seconds, with a geographic range of 26.1 nautical miles. The island itself is managed by the Canadian Wildlife Service and access requires permission.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is important for guiding vessels through a significant shipping lane in the Bay of Fundy, warning them of High Island's presence.
