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.

Our Lantern Room has a new occupant! The Coast Guard decided it was time to update the lens that had been in place for about 25 years. The old one utilized a 36-watt incandescent lightbulb within a plastic 300 mm Fresnel lens.
We’re open today!
