Owl's Head Light - Owl's Head,
Maine
|
This lighthouse station was built in 1825
and is just south of the Rockland Breakwater
Light and the Rockland Harbor Southwest Light.
The keeper's house, like many, is privately
owned and not open to the public. The grounds,
however, are easily accessed with parking
available.
If you feel up to it, you may climb the many
steps up to the tower and be rewarded with
quite a view from a fairly high vantage point
(for a lighthouse). Unfortunately, the day
on which we visited was overcast and hazy,
so we do not have any good photographs of
the view.

to be climbed to reach the tower.
