Reviews
"This is the Milneburg lighthouse!! used to be the center hub for Milneburg town asking the South side of lake Ponchartrain. was later inside the Pontchartrain Beach amusement park inside the kiddie ride ' jungle jeeps'"
"Cute little lighthouse on UNOs (University of New Orleans) campus. Seems recently renovated/preserved since the last time we were there."
"My mom loves light houses and we are from illinois. This is the first time she ever saw one up close and the security guard ran us off. Well attempted. I told him we would leave once she got a picture and to go on about his day. He's a security guard he meant nothing to me and had no authority over us. Get your pictures! And move on! However the people who now own this land need to take into consideration that people deserve to see historical land marks! We don't care about them!"
"To say this is "free" is a bit misleading. We were told by security that we couldn't be parked here, as it is private property. So, keep that in mind if you want to go. If you are like me, and wanting to photograph it, there are a couple of things to note. There is a hurricane fence around the lighthouse, approximately 10ft from the base. You won't get great shots of it without that sad fencing. You also will not be getting any of the lake or "beach" in the shots. There is a concrete levy wall that blocks all access and visibility of the lake. This is an easy drive for us, we live relatively close and spend a lot of time in New Orleans. But, unless you are a serious lighthouse enthusiasts, I wouldn't suggest you bother going to see this if you don't have time to kill. There isn't anything to see or do at this site. It's a lot of odd roads to spend less than 1 minute. And security is going to run you off."
"The Milneburg Lighthouse brought back so many wonderful memories for mom when she used to live near Pontchartrain Beach back in the early 60s. It was also a bit sad for her to see how things have changed in that area since back in the amusement park days. We were not bothered at all by security while visiting the lighthouse even though they did pass us by. Took a few quick photos."
