Pilot Bay lighthouse

Canada / British Columbia / Nelson /
 lighthouse, interesting place

Built in 1905, this historic lighthouse guided sternwheelers and other traffic on Kootenay Lake. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1993. In 1995 the Canadian Coast Guard transferred the property to the province of BC and it has become part of the Pilot Bay Provincial Park. The lighthouse was recently restored by The Friends of West Kootenay Parks and is maintained by that society.
