Contributed by Jim Moeller. He gave a real good description of it in his e-mail:
It's located on the eastern end of Oneida Lake in Central New York in a small town called Sylvan Beach. The light is approximately 75 feet tall, was built in 1915 by "Lupfer and Remick Engineers and Contractors" out of Buffalo, NY. I believe it was used for a navigational aid when the Canal system was in it's heyday. As an interesting side note, the tower still has power hooked up to it, but the light is never turned on. A real shame.
Directions: In the Town of Verona Beach, take Route 13 to Oneida Street. Follow Oneida Street west to the lake. Now make a left onto Forest Ave and head south. The lighthouse will be on your right-hand side between 3rd and 5th ave. From what I hear, you have to look very closely as it is tucked in amongst trees.
