Gannat Rock Light

Home » Activities » History » Lighthouses » Gannat Rock Light

Built in 1831, Gannat Rock Light is one of the most exposed lighthouses in Canada. Located nine miles south of Grand Manan Island, Gannat Rock, named after the birds that once rested here, is merely a stone islet. The fact that this wooden tower has withstood countless, horrific storms for over 170 years in a true testament to its builders. Gannat Rock Light is the second oldest wooden lighthouse still in use in Canada, however it was destaffed in 1996.
