About Prescott Heritage Harbour Lighthouse
An octagonal wood tower standing 6 meters tall, the Prescott Heritage Harbour lighthouse is painted white with green lantern and gallery. It emits an isophase green light every 4 seconds from a focal height of 7.5 meters, providing a geographic range of 9.5 nautical miles. Established in the late 1980s, this structure marks the entrance to Sandra S. Lawn Harbour in downtown Prescott, Ontario. It is situated directly across the St. Lawrence River from Ogdensburg, New York, at the end of the main breakwater. The Canadian Coast Guard manages this active aid to navigation.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels into Sandra S. Lawn Harbour and preventing collisions with the breakwater. Its distinctive green light provides a clear signal for mariners approaching Prescott, ensuring safe access for local recreational and commercial traffic.
