Lighthouses of Lake Erie               Horseshoe Reef 28 Established: 1856 Status:   Ruins Location:   (NY) On the reef, one and one half miles east of Buffalo Type:   Wood Access:   Boat       About the Light:   This light once marked a reef that has always been a hazard to the navigation of the port city of Buffalo. Keeper's lived ashore and used boats to tend to the light. In 1920, the Buffalo Crib Light made this light redundant and it was abandoned. The winds and waves have since destroyed all but the steel support skeleton. Other than the gulls, there is not much of interest remaining at this site.             Select Another LightHouse Ashtabula Barcelona Bois Blanc (Bob-Lo) Buffalo Breakwater Buffalo Breakwater (Leaning) Buffalo Breakwater (Old Bottle Light) Buffalo Lightship (Lightvessel No. 82) Buffalo Main Cleveland East Pierhead Cleveland West Breakwater Colchester Reef Detroit River Dunkirk Erie Land Erie Pierhead Erieau East Pier Fairport Harbor West First Southeast Shoal Lightship Grand Island Old Front Range Grosse Ile North Channel Horseshoe Reef Huron Harbor Kingsville Leamington Light Long Point Long Point West End (Old Cut) Lorain East Breakwater Lorain West Breakwater Marblehead (Sandusky) Mohawk Island Old Fairport Main (Grand River) Old Port Clinton Pier Pelee Island Pelee Passage Point Abino Port Burwell Port Dover Port Maitland Front Range Port Stanley Presque Isle Sandusky Harbor Pierhead South Bass Island South Buffalo Southside Southeast Shoal Toledo Harbor Turtle Island Vermilion West Sister Island
