Saugerties Light – Wikipedia
Saugerties Light, known also as the Saugerties Lighthouse, is a lighthouse on the Hudson River north of Saugerties, New York.
History
When it was built in 1869, it replaced the earlier 1838 lighthouse. Its Coast Guard service was ended in 1954. It is currently managed by the non-profit Saugerties Lighthouse Conservancy which purchased the lighthouse in 1986 and has restored it. The conservancy manages the nature trail leading to the lighthouse, offers two bed and breakfast rooms and public tours. A small museum displays artifacts of the original lighthouse and the restoration efforts, as well as the history of the Saugerties waterfront.

Location Scout Esopus Meadows Lighthouse, NY
As I have mentioned before, just about any personal outing is a busman’s holiday for a location scout 😉
Saturday, July 16 was no exception as my girlfriend, Mary and I packed up our ‘yaks and headed upstate a bit to Margaret Lewis Norrie State Park, NY and discovered the lovely Esopus Meadows Lighthouse on the Hudson River 🙂 You can see the Catskills High Peaks rising up in the far background!
