Saugerties Light, National Historic Lighthouse on Hudson River in Ulster County, United States
The Saugerties Light stands 14 meters tall with a square tower, displaying white exterior walls and a distinguishing red roof at its summit point.
Built in 1869, this lighthouse marked the entrance to Esopus Creek, supporting maritime navigation during a period of industrial expansion along the Hudson River.
The lighthouse exemplifies Italianate architectural elements with tall narrow windows, symmetrical design, and decorative features characteristic of mid-19th century American maritime structures.
Visitors reach the lighthouse through a walking trail from the mainland parking area, with opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and birdwatching in the surrounding waters.
The structure functions both as an active navigational beacon and as a museum displaying maritime artifacts from the Hudson River's commercial shipping era.
