About the Light:
|
|
Constructed of iron plate, this lighthouse
was designed to stand for many years against the power of the lake. It was automated
in 1959 and is currently solar-powered. The tower stands 25 feet above the breakwall
and has a focal plane of 31 feet. Originally, the light was equipped with a Fifth
Order Fresnel optic, but now has only a 300min plastic lens. This light is isolated
on the breakwall and is best viewed from a boat. |
