The East Lighthouse/Tar Vat Bay trail leads to Pond Point and back. It follows along the coastline of Georgian Bay and passes by Tar Vat Bay, where local commercial fishermen of the late-1800s and early-1900s regularly tarred their nets to prevent them from deteriorating so quickly. A similar spot exists on the George Island Wilderness Trail.
