The 10 Best Lighthouses in New York, United States
New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

This a pretty trail that parallels the Hudson River and ultimately leads to the lighthouse an Kingsland Park. The summer is the best time to walk, as winter can render the path icy and uneven. Dogs are allowed on the path

Built in 1824, the original lighthouse tower was almost destroyed during the Civil War, fell into disrepair, rebuilt in 1870, and now is open to the public as a maritime museum and library.

The interior of the lighthouse is closed this summer due to Coronavirus but it is still worth stopping here to see the lighthouse and the beautifully landscaped grounds. Lighthouse sits on a bluff overlooking Lake Ontario, the Sodus Point Beach, and breaklight. Lots of beautiful black eyed Susan’s and hydrangeas all around the grounds at the beginning of August.

This lighthouse was erected in 1827 when its first lamps were fueled by whale oil; today the buildings and grounds serve as an historical and educational resource for the public to enjoy.

A great spot! We were fortunate to spend about an hour on a mild and sunny day with a breeze kicking up the waves from Lake Ontario. We enjoyed the exhibits in the building that housed the fog horn and looking through the "telescope" out across the lake and the river. It's too bad the area needs to be so fenced in and that walking to the top of the lighthouse is not permitted (as far as we could tell). Maybe in the future the big chain link fence can be replaced with something equally protective of visitors' safety but be much more attractive. In any case, well worth a visit.

You can reach this historic 86-year-old lighthouse by boat tours from the Hudson River Maritime Museum.

If you enjoy the tranquil beauty of a lighthouse, then this one is a must-see. The current structure was built-in 1913 & it was 1st lite-up in 1915. To see the lighthouse you can take a boat tour that originates at the Hudson River Museum or by walking the Kingston Point Rail Trail.

A must see attraction. This beautiful Lighthouse on the tip of Long Island is worth the trip .You can have a picnic and take a tour and climb to the top of the lighthouse with spectacular views. And you better hurry cause it might go over the edge sooner or later
9. The Hudson-Athens Lighthouse

One of the last built and most elegant of the Hudson River lighthouses.
Reviewed By Wallysfood - Oceanside, United States
Took the last tour of the season, wound up to be that perfect sunny autumn day on the Hudson River that’s tough to beat. The volunteer staff at the lighthouse all have a passion for what they do and know the light top to bottom and all the stories that go with it. If you have any interest in Lighthouses this is the tour to take. It may not be the biggest light, but it’s history will pull you right in and to stand on top of the light and watch the river and the boats passing....awesome!

A nice walk from the Robert Moses parking lot along a winding boardwalk gets you to the lighthouse. After climbing the steps to the top, the view of the ocean, surrounding park and of southern Long Island is a sight to see. Many deer are in view along the walk
