Farmers' Market

Locally-grown produce, fresh and smoked fish, maple syrup and handicrafts are on sale in the Gore Bay arena on Fridays from mid-June to Thanksgiving.

Janet Head Lighthouse

The lighthouse at Janet Head was built in 1880. The name is believed to have come from one of the daughters of Lieutenant Bayfield who surveyed Lake Huron in his ship Recovery between 1822 and 1825. The area includes a tent and trailer park. The actual lighthouse is now home to a gift shop and interpretive centre.

Gore Bay Museum

A jailhouse until 1940 and then converted to a museum in 1958, it holds the key to our past with a wide array of historical artifacts on display.
