Esopus Meadows Light, Maritime lighthouse in Ulster County, United States.
The Esopus Meadows Light stands 17 meters tall on the western bank of the Hudson River, featuring white clapboard exteriors and a red mansard roof.
The initial lighthouse from 1839 sustained damage from floods and ice, leading to the construction of the current structure in 1871 for maritime navigation.
The Second Empire architectural design of this lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of the Hudson River region during the nineteenth century.
Visitors can access the lighthouse exclusively by boat and participate in guided tours during summer months to explore its renovated living quarters.
This structure remains the sole wooden lighthouse on the Hudson River, operating with a solar-powered system visible from 12 nautical miles.
