This iconic lighthouse was erected in 1910 at 33 feet, and its bright, white light extends to 76 feet above the water. Cap à l’Est Lighthouse is the last traditional lighthouse to be built along the Saguenay River.

Keep in mind that this lighthouse cannot be reached by car. Instead, it must be accessed by foot—approximately a 2-hour hike—which means visitors are limited to those physically capable of making the long trek. It is certainly not the most accessible place to get to, but the magnificent view is worth the effort.
