Visit the still-functioning 24 m/78 ft limestone tower to see the 12-sided lantern that shines a bright light on the historical significance of lighthouses to Great Lakes navigation. Nearby, the lightkeeper’s house museum illuminates the lives led on lonely shores. </p></p> </div>  </div> <div class="container">   </div>   <div class="container">  <section class="row"> <div> <section class="gc-srvinfo col-xs-12 mrgn-bttm-xl col-md-12"> <div class="wb-eqht row"> <div class="col-xs-12"> <h2>About Point Clark National Historic Site</h2> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-6"> <h3> <a class="pc-doormat" href="https://parks.canada.ca/lhn-nhs/on/clark/culture" rel="external">Culture and history</a> </h3> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-6"> <h3> <a class="pc-doormat" href="https://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/dfhd/page_nhs_eng.aspx?id=490" rel="external">Designation information</a> </h3> </div> </div> </section> </div> </section>   <div class="row mrgn-bttm-lg">  <div class="col-md-7">     <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <div id="location_map" class="wb-geomap" data-wb-geomap='{ "layersFile" : "/content/js/gettingHere.js" , "tables" : [{ "id" : "addParksCan" , "tab" : false, "tooltips" : true, "tooltipText" : "Location text" , "visible" : true, "popupsInfo" : { "id" : "locationsPopup" , "height" : 200, "width" : 300, "close" : true, "content" : "<div style=\" white-space:nowrap;\"><p>_Location name</p></div>" }, "popups" : true, "zoom": true, "style": { "type": "rule", "rule": [ { "field": "Type", "value": [3], "filter": "EQUAL_TO", "name": " ", "init": { "externalGraphic": "/-/media/Images/Location-Search/amcnmca-svg4-png", "graphicWidth": 25,"graphicHeight": 40, "fillOpacity": 1}} , { "field": "Type", "value": [2], "filter": "EQUAL_TO", "name": " ", "init": { "externalGraphic": "/-/media/Images/Location-Search/lhnnhs-svg5-png", "graphicWidth": 25,"graphicHeight": 40, "fillOpacity": 1}}, { "field": "Type", "value": [1], "filter": "EQUAL_TO", "name": " ", "init": { "externalGraphic": "/-/media/Images/Location-Search/pnnp-svg5-png", "graphicWidth": 25,"graphicHeight": 40, "fillOpacity": 1}} ] } }] }'> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12">  <div class="wb-geomap-map"></div>  </div>   </div>  <div class="row hidden"> <section> <div class="wb-geomap-layers col-md-12"> <section> <div class="wb-geomap-layers col-md-12"> <section> <table id="addParksCan" aria-label="National historic sites" class="locationTable"> <thead> <tr> <th>Type</th> <th>Location text</th> <th>Location name</th> <th>Address</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr locationTarget="Point Clark Lighthouse National Historic Site" data-geometry="POINT (-81.75729, 44.07281)" data-type="wkt"> <td>2</td> <td>Point Clark Lighthouse National Historic Site</td> <td>Point Clark Lighthouse National Historic Site</td> <td><p> 529 Lighthouse Road<br> Point Clark ON N0G 2R0 </p></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </section> </div> </section> </div> </section> </div>  </div> </div> </div>  <script> $(document).on("wb-ready.wb-geomap", "#location_map", function(event, map ) { // Get the map to use in zoomFeature function var myMap = map; // if reprojection is needed myMap.getView().setCenter(ol.proj.transform([-81.75729, 44.07281], "EPSG:4326", "EPSG:900913")); myMap.getView().setZoom(7); }); </script> </div>   <div class="col-md-5">  <div class=""> <h3 class="mrgn-tp-0 mrgn-bttm-md">Contact us</h3> <p> For visitor information:<br> Telephone: 519-395-3735<br> Email: <a href="info@huronkinloss.com">info@huronkinloss.com</a> </p> <p> For information about Parks Canada management:<br> Telephone: 705-527-7200<br> Email: <a href="mailto:info.gbi@pc.gc.ca">info.gbi@pc.gc.ca</a></p> </div>   <div class=""> <h3 class="mrgn-tp-xl mrgn-bttm-md">Hours of operation</h3> <p> <strong>Closed for the winter</strong><br> Operated privately.
