Volusia Bar Light, Wooden lighthouse at Saint Johns River inlet into Lake George, Florida, US
The Volusia Bar Light featured a square tower and lantern mounted on the roof of a wooden dwelling built on iron and wooden foundations.
Constructed in 1886 with a fourth-order Fresnel lens, the lighthouse operated until 1916, marking the shallow waters where Saint Johns River meets Lake George.
The lighthouse demonstrates the maritime navigation methods of Florida waterways during the late nineteenth century through its strategic position and equipment.
The remains of the lighthouse foundation pilings stand at coordinates 29.2067°N latitude and 81.5794°W longitude, marking the entrance to Volusia Bar.
The lighthouse maintained a foghorn that remained active until 1943, long after the main light ceased operations in 1916.
