About Rosseau Lighthouse
Also known as: Rosseau (Lighthouse Shoal)
This square pyramidal wood tower, built in 1890, stands 11 meters tall and is painted white with a red lantern. Its light has a focal height of 9 meters and emits a white flash every 4 seconds, visible for 10 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated on a shoal just south of Rosseau at the northern end of Lake Rosseau in Seguin Township, Ontario. Renovation work was underway in 2014, following fundraising efforts by the Lake Rosseau North Association in 2013. The structure guides mariners on the lake.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks a shoal south of Rosseau, aiding navigation on the busy Lake Rosseau.
