About Prescott Lighthouse
Also known as: Prescott (Prescott Rotary)
The Prescott Lighthouse, built in 1989, stands 12 meters tall on the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence River near Prescott, Ontario. It features an octagonal wood tower, painted white, with a red lantern and gallery. The light emits a single green flash every 4 seconds, visible for 10 nautical miles. This structure replaced older aids to navigation to improve safety in this busy waterway. Access to the grounds is permitted, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse aids vessels navigating the channels of the St. Lawrence River, a significant international shipping route.
