Great Lakes Seaway Trail
Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse, NY
Located in Golden Hill State Park, Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse is a great photo opportunity. As visitors explore the park and take a walk around this 1875 lighthouse, the life and times of a lighthouse come into view through informational signs.
During its years of operation, a lighthouse keeper lived in it to attend to its maintenance. The lighthouse keeper would light the wick, make sure there was sufficient oil, trim the wick, and polish the lens of the light.
Other buildings situated around Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse include a foghorn building, a carriage house, outhouses, and oil houses.
