Once you have arrived, check out a light keeper’s home, hidden on the inside of the Chantry Island Lighthouse. Next, climb the 106 steps to the top of the lighthouse for an unforgettable view.
While on the island, take the opportunity to visit the Front Range Light and the Saugeen River Light. Afterwards, hop back on a boat and ride over to the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre, where the Stokes Bay Range Light currently sits.
