About Rondeau West Breakwater Lighthouse
Also known as: Rondeau West Breakwater (Range Front)
A square, white concrete tower standing 9 meters tall was constructed in 1912. The focal height of its green light is 11 meters. This structure is situated at the extremity of the west breakwater, marking the entry point to Rondeau Harbour in Erieau on Lake Erie. Its light flashes green every 5 seconds. In 1947, the lighthouse was adapted to serve as the front light for the entrance range, a role it continues to fulfill. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: As the front light of the entrance range, this structure provides precise alignment for vessels entering Rondeau Harbour, helping them avoid surrounding shoals.
