Worth stopping for

Point Riche Lighthouse

On the way to…

  1. YDF → Port au Choix →

    The 1892 light on the Point Riche Peninsula past the visitor centre — mapped at the end of the headland road, ten minutes beyond town. The limestone barrens around it are the same ground the archaeology sits in; caribou wander the point, and the Parks Canada site's trails link the light to the dig sites.

    Stopping here adds about 10 min and 4.2 km to that drive (3h 3m door to door).

Drive it with your own nav:Organic Maps →OsmAnd →Apple →Google →Waze →The first two run on OpenStreetMap and don't track you — the same map this site is built from.

The map last touched this element on 2025-11-12 — an old date is not proof of closure, only of nobody updating the map; if you know better, edit OpenStreetMap and every site built on it learns.

All of it read from the cited element and this site's own measured stops (2026-09-05); nothing above is our endorsement — it is the map's record.

Where this pin comes from: OpenStreetMap way/223699724 → — the same element every figure on this page is checked against.
