About Shuswap Lake Lighthouse Lighthouse
A cylindrical concrete tower, 6 meters tall, stands on a square concrete base at Haven Point. Its white structure reaches a focal height of 8.5 meters and emits a single white flash every second. This lighthouse is situated on Shuswap Lake in British Columbia, Canada, marking the south side of the Cinnemousun Narrows. This narrow passage connects two distinct fjord-like sections of the H-shaped lake. The site is open to the public, though access to the tower itself is restricted.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation through the Cinnemousun Narrows, a busy passage for recreational boaters and local traffic connecting the distinct arms of Shuswap Lake. Its presence at Haven Point helps mariners avoid potential hazards in this constricted waterway.
