Getting to
9 Mile Point lighthouse on Simcoe Island, Canada, is a great mini
adventure in and of itself. From Kingston, Ontario you begin
by taking the Wolfe Island car ferry (free) over to Wolfe Island.
From the ferry landing in Marysville, exit to Route 95 and then
right onto Route 96 to a gravel road that leads to a two car cable
ferry for the ride across to Simcoe Island. Once on Simcoe
Island, there's a single, main road -- follow it to its end.
If the gate is open, visitors are permitted to cross private property
to the Canadian Coast Guard property that the lighthouse occupies.
The beach area is not public. Please respect the privacy of
the property owners so they'll continue to be accommodating to lighthouse
visitors! |
