Tree Point Light, Lighthouse in Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area, Alaska.

The white concrete lighthouse tower rises 86 feet above sea level, featuring a red lantern and Art Deco architectural elements on mainland Alaska.

The United States Lighthouse Service constructed the first Tree Point Light in 1904, with major reconstruction completed in reinforced concrete during 1935.

The Tongass Historical Museum exhibits the original fourth-order Fresnel lens, preserving the maritime heritage of Southeast Alaska for future generations.

The lighthouse employs a modern solar-powered VRB-25 Vega lens, providing navigational guidance across 9 nautical miles of the Revillagigedo Channel.

The National Register of Historic Places recognizes this structure as the most complete lighthouse installation in southern Southeast Alaska.
