    Typical BC Lighthouse
    It is a typical BC lighthouse and important on our coast, but not much to see, actually, as you can't enter the grounds. This one, unlike some others, appears to be "manned", as it looks like someone lives in the house. Appears very well-maintained. Nice parade of boats and barges going by and an impressive view of the Campbell River shoreline across Discovery Passage. Beach out front for a picnic or short walk.

    Not a lot to see. Only a "Fly by"
    The lighthouse is well maintained and picturesque but the gates are locked and you can only view from a distance. There are no information plaques either to give information on history and function. For the island a real opportunity missed as it seems to have many visitors and there were similar mumblings from family members

    Was in the atea
    The lighthouse wasn’t our destination for visiting Quadra Island, but rather an RV park nearby. My family and I went to check it out to find it all fenced off and not accessible as it an active lighthouse still in operation. It was neat to see. Nonetheless because when we returned to main island we spotted it from faraway to use as a landmark. Not much to see overall though.

Worthwhile visit
Jul. 2021
A picturesque old lighthouse on Cape Mudge.. we hiked the beach from Tsa-Kwa-Luten Lodge to visit the lighthouse... it is about a 20 minute walk along the beach... interesting to see what appears to be the old fog horn and the newer installation...worth a look when on Quadra Island..

It’s a lighthouse!
Sep. 2020
A manned working lighthouse. Similar in style to the one in west van. Well maintained. Keeping us safe.

Beautiful Lighthouse to Look At
Jul. 2019 • Family
The property is fenced in so all you can do is get some nice pictures. I didn't notice any tours being offered. If you love Lighthouses, it's worth the trip to see it.

wonderful if you like lighthouses
May 2019 • Couples
I love lighthouses so this was a must for me as we were staying at the nearby Tsa-Kwa Luten lodge. Rather than walking to it, as my husband has mobility issues, we drove to it. There is ample parking and a walking trail for those interested.

A west-coast classic lighthouse
May 2019 • Friends
You can drive right to it, or walk from Tsa-Kwa-Luten lodge, and can take in the extra mile or so of sea-side walk to Cape Mudge village, a pleasant and interesting First Nations community with a good museum.

A ramble on the shore
Oct. 2018 • Couples
We visited the lighthouse as it was stones throw away from where we were staying .
If we had to limit where we most wanted to visit on Quadra this would not be at the top of my list .
It is surrounded by a wire fence but you can take photos of it and walking along the shore is great anywhere . It was a beautiful sunny day in October so we just sat with the sun beaming down on us as once we had taken our photo our sightseeing was over !

Not Much of a Destination
Aug. 2018 • Friends
A small lighthouse surrounded by fencing was not what I was expecting. I would not call this a destination lighthouse. The short walk to get to it from the Tsa Kwa Luten Lodge was also not particularly scenic as it mostly followed a gravel road fronting small cabins. It was more scenic just to sit on the lodge's deck and watch the sunset over the water.
