Louisbourg Lighthouse — Attraction in Louisbourg

This is another beautiful spot not far from Sydney. The views are great with rugged coast line. You can go for walk along the trail, which is not tough and should be easy for all age and all skills levels and physical ability. You can watch the waves for hours and at times you may get massive waves crashing against the stoney coastline and sea stacks. Sun sits on the opposite side behind the lighthouse, so it must be a beautiful view if you can get there for sunrise. I would say bug spray is a must especially if there is no wind. Plenty of parking and though there is a gate, I have never seen it closed even well after the sunset...

This lighthouse overlooking the Fortress Louisburg has spectacular views. The place can be remarkably brilliant during sunsets. There are a couple of Muskoka chairs for you to sit and marvel at the beautiful landscape. There are a couple of trails that start from this place. The lighthouse can be reached by unpaved road from the Louisburg harbour. This place also has some history attached to it. British had attacked the French warships from here during the sieges of 18th century. There is ample parking space right next to the lighthouse. There are plaques with brief history of the place...

I love to drive over to the lighthouse, to go on the trail, what is a lovely well kept trail, along the edge of the ocean. The only problem is when you enter the unpaved road leading to the lighthouse. You go over this road on your own risk, that could end in a trip that can cost a lot of repair on your car. It is a shame that it is not safe to drive there, with these kind of road conditions. Parks Canada owns the site, and I can't understand that they not look after their property, so that our tourists can safely visit this...
