DGJ_4916 - At Last Cape George Lighthouse (Bras d'Or Lakes)

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

 

I did find a path that I foliowed hoping it would lead to the lighthouse and it did, not a really difficult walk and about 10-15 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I know these are not great shots (sun in my face and washed out) but decided to post them to show you how hard it is to get to some of these lighthouses. The paths are often overgrown and there are lots of bugs to bother you - bring bug spray, LOL

 

The first lighthouse was established here in 1875 but is no longer standing. This tower was built in 1950 to replace the first light.

 

Location: On cape, north entrance to St. Peter's Inlet

Began and Lit: 1950

Tower Height: 8.23 meters (27ft)

Light Height: 12.5 meters (41ft) above water level

Scenic Drive: Bras d'Or Lakes
