Spring Point Ledge

This light, made in the "spark plug" style, sits on a breakwater by a main channel into Portland Harbor. It can be reached by heading south on Route 77 in Portland and continuing on Broadway, turning right on Pickett Street and then left onto Fort Road, which ends at Fort Preble and a parking area.

Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse was built in 1898.
