Gereaux Island Light
Located at
the mouth of Byng Inlet in Georgian Bay.
The
pyramidal wooden tower with attached single story dwelling has been referred
to as a "Georgian Bay" style light. There are six similar lights in the
area.
This light
is 48-feet tall and sits on a small rock outcropping. The station is a
summer rescue station and visitors are welcome.
The present
light was built in 1880 to replace an 1870 structure.
