The lighthouse is named the Crossover Island Lighthouse as this island is at a point in the river where ships cross from the American side of the shipping channel to the Canadian side. The lighthouse houses a 6th-order Fresnel lens and is now a private residence.
(I know this lighthouse is on an island, but if you have a boat, please don't trespass as the lighthouse is privately owned.)
Directions: This lighthouse sits off shore in the St. Lawrence River. The best view of the lighthouse from shore is along River Edge Road which runs parallel along Route 12 just west of Chippewa Bay. While heading east out of Chippewa Bay, make a left onto Conger Road, then bear right onto River Ledge Road. I got my shots from in between the houses along this road. You will want to use a telephoto lens or access a boat to get better shots.
