Visitor Info
From Gardiner Expressway, west of downtown Toronto, take Lake Shore Exit, travel south on LakeShore Boulevard West passing through two traffic lights, and then take the next left onto Humber Bay Park Road West. The grounds of Mimico Cruising Club, where the lighthouse is situated, are not open to the public, so your best option to view the tower is to take your first left from Humber Bay Park Road West into the public parking lot. After parking, proceed west on foot and you will find a waterfront trail from which you can view the lighthouse from across the water. The lighthouse is owned by Mimico Cruising Club. Grounds/tower closed.
