Schoodic Scenic Byway
Prospect Harbor Light, ME

This attractive lighthouse can best be seen across the harbor from Prospect Harbor village or from the entrance of the Navy installation. The present 38-foot wood lighthouse replaced the original granite lighthouse in 1891, along with a new one-and-a-half story farmhouse-style keeper's house. The lighthouse was automated in 1951, and this dramatic peninsula now serves as a recreation area for the US Naval Reserve on Schoodic Peninsula, but is not open to the public. The keeper's house, known as Gull Cottage, is available for overnight stays for active and retired military families.
