Doubling Point Light
Doubling Point Light, Wooden lighthouse on Kennebec River, Maine, United States.
Doubling Point Light is an octagonal wooden tower with white wooden shingles situated at a bend in the Kennebec River. The structure was positioned to guide boats safely through this stretch of waterway.
The Army Corps of Engineers built this lighthouse in 1898 to improve navigation along the Kennebec River near the Bath Iron Works shipyard. This infrastructure investment reflected the region's growth in industrial and maritime activity.
This structure reflects the maritime traditions that shaped river communities in this region and demonstrates how navigation aids supported local economic activities. Walking around the site reveals how the design serves its purpose within the natural landscape.
You can reach this lighthouse by taking Route 127 south from Woolwich toward Arrowsic Island, where there is designated parking near the viewing area. Since it sits on an island setting, be aware of tidal conditions and seasonal access when planning your visit.
The tower was relocated to its current location in 1899, with the keeper's house moved two years later to improve operations. These relocations show how operators adapted to maintain effective navigation support at this challenging bend in the river.
