Christian Island Lighthouse
June, 2019
I'm finally back after a 3 year absence and work busy-ness. Dennis and I married in March, 2019, and life is full and good. I retired from park work last week, and am excited about new adventures moving forward. I plan to include more writing in this mix... so here is a start!
Christian Island is in the heart of Georgian Bay off Cedar Point near Midland and Penetanguishene, Ontario. It is reached by a small ferry and is part of Beausoleil First Nation. I have never been to Christian Island before but have been curious about it. From Meaford you see it on the eastern horizon across Georgian Bay. It is home to one of six Imperial Lighthouses, and this inspired our recent journey.
We took the ferry and our bikes across, had pizza lunch at the grocery store near the dock, and then cycled the 6 km to Christian Island's south end. The road was good gravel, quite level and scenic. A light drizzle kept dust down, and the air temperature was perfect for a comfortable ride. Hope you enjoy the pics. It was a fun and satisfying adventure!
