The lighthouse is accessible by boat only. From Bill Edwards: A spot you MIGHT be able to see it (and that is a big "might") is from a state tourist "pull off" on the west side of St. Rt. 3, between Henderson & Sackets Harbor, NY. You will need something more powerful than my kid's binoculars but I "THINK" I saw an image that might be the light from that vantage point. Keepers: Zenas Hastings (1820-1837), Goodale P.
