WeLcome to Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse!
Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse is the only caisson- style light station in the United States that visitors can walk to. Located on the breakwater at Southern Maine Community College in South Portland, the lighthouse has been an integral part of the history of Portland harbor and Casco Bay since 1897. It was listed on the National Historic Register in 1988.
The United States Coast Guard continues to maintain the aids to navigation, the light and fog signal, having transferred ownership of the lighthouse structure to the Spring Point Ledge Light Trust in 1998. The Trust is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) public charity committed to the preservation of the lighthouse.

It’s a beautiful Spring day!
We’ve been a little quiet on here this winter but that doesn’t mean we’re not busy behind the scenes! We’ve been making plans for another season, participating in the Portland History Docents program, gearing up for some essential fundraising, and ordering new stock for our gift shop. Lots to do but July will be here before we know it!
