The lighthouse is now available for rent and is open all year round. I hear there is a one-year waiting list for some dates. At the moment it is by the week in the summer, and the rest of the year it can be for 2 or more nights.
30-Mile point is so called, as it is 30 miles from where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario.
Built in 1875 to warn of a rocky shoal and shifting sandbar in Lake Ontario. There is evidence of 5 major shipwrecks....if you like to scuba! One is the British naval vessel, The Ontario, which sank on Halloween night, 1780 with a loss of 75 men and $15,000 payroll.
The lighthouse is more then 60 feet high and was constructed of cut stone shipped by schooner from Chaumont Bay.

Visit Instructions:Please include the following with your submission of a visit:
- Photograph of the passport stamp. Over time, passport stamps change, some are dated, and let’s face it, this is the purpose of the waymark.
- Area photograph of location. Try to make it from a new angle to show something new. Pictures can include interaction, as that is encouraged, but should be done so with the thought of inspiring further visitation of the area. No GPSr Pictures, unless there is something significant to show about the coordinates.
- Short narrative. Tell of your visit, share something new, add new visiting hours or anything that would be nice to know when visiting the location.
Finally, please add a visit if you go to the area and find the passport stamp is missing. Please add details, such as, they expect a new passport stamp and when, or the like. If the passport stamp has moved, please log a visit, and waymark the new location. (Old locations will not be archived. You never know when they might move the passport stamp back to the original waymark. This is where the visits come in handy.)
Please do not add a visit if you go to the location and the passport stamp is inaccessible because the passport stamp has moved to another location or where it is housed is closed. This category is about the passport stamp. You may be able to post a log about a lighthouse and not go inside, but you can not log a passport stamp without gaining the passport stamp.
