 The first navigational aid on the point was a lens lantern established in 1888. A local contract keeper was hired to trim the wick and change the fuel tank weekly. Several five-gallon barrels of kerosene were brought to nearby Griffin Bay every couple of months by a lighthouse tender. The modern thirty-four-foot, octagonal, concrete tower on Cattle Point was erected in 1935. The lighthouse is located within the Cattle Point Interpretive Area.
