Directions:
This lighthouse is accessible by boat only, but it can be seen from a cruise offered by Long Legg Charters -- see www.geocities.com/fishlonglegg/lighthouse.html or call 315-482-3677. Bill Edwards provides directions to a viewing point: "North(east) of Chippewa Bay, parallel to Route 12, is Riverledge Rd., between the route and the St. Lawrence Seaway/River. There are two cross streets that connect Riverledge to Route 12. On the north(eastern) end is Conger Rd., on the south (western) end is Oak Pt. You can peer through in several places, between private residences & trees, to get what turns out to be a straight on (over)look. You are not able to get down to shore because the road(s) are private."
Keepers: Daniel Hill (1909-1931), Ralph Hill (1931-?)
