Port Clinton Lighthouse

Built in 1896, the Port Clinton Lighthouse has been guiding boats safely across Lake Erie for over a century. Want to learn about a historical structure that has stood the test of time?

The lighthouse was erected by the U.S. Lighthouse Service to mark the entrance to Portage River. Notable for its 52-foot tall tower, its classic lighthouse design showcases a spiral staircase and is painted red and white for visibility.
