Travel Instructions: At the lower end of the Kingston Peninsula where Route 845 makes a right turn, proceed southwest on Summerville Road following the ferry signs. Follow this road straight to its terminus at the ferry landing. Once you park, the lighthouse is visible from the waters edge just down the shore. An excellent view can be had from the Kennebacasis Island Ferry, and as this is the smallest, least-used ferry on the river, the operators are more than happy to take you out midstream to photograph the lighthouse.

The lighthouse is owned by the Canadian Coast Guard. Grounds open, tower closed.
