Lake Huron, the middle child of the Great Lakes, has a big bay that sticks out of it to the northeast, into Ontario, named Georgian Bay. One of the things that Georgian Bay has is Manitoulin Island, the world's largest freshwater island.
Another thing that it has is a LOT of lighthouses. Many of them are small (compared to the big ocean coast lighthouses). After looking at several of them, I went with one that has a lot of tradition, and which is bigger than most, is Cove Island Lighthouse.

Cove Island is located offshore of the end of the northern Bruce Peninsula, where there's a town named Tobermory.
Here's two pictures of the lighthouse by Jack Salen on Flickr:
