Ile Parisienne Lighthouse is located on the southwest tip of the island in the middle of Whitefish Bay 21.7 miles (35km) from Sault Ste Marie in Ontario’s Algoma Country. It was built in 1911 as a beacon for shipping traffic to the Soo Locks and still remains active today. The concrete hexagonal lighthouse stands 54 feet (16.6m) tall. It can be viewed by boat or seaplane tours, however the lighthouse is not open to the public because of the high amount of shipping traffic.
