About Cecebe Lake Lighthouse

Also known as: Cecebe Lake (replica)

A square pyramidal wood tower, standing 6 meters tall, was constructed in 1995 to mark the entrance to Cecebe Lake. Painted white with red trim, the structure features a lantern and gallery. Its light emits a single red flash. This 1995 replica replaces an earlier lighthouse that was deactivated in the 1930s and subsequently demolished. The original light was established in 1905. The current tower offers a geographic range of 8.9 nautical miles.

Why it matters: This lighthouse serves as a modern replica, preserving the historical memory of navigation on Cecebe Lake and the Magnetawan River estuary, aiding local boaters.
