Squirrel Point Light

"It is a moderately easy hike to Squirrel Point Light. It is about 1.3 miles out to the lighthouse and back. Squirrel Point Light is located on the east side of the Kennebec River approximately 10 miles from Bath. The path is well marked but there are some roots along the way to be careful of. We saw a deer. The lighthouse and keepers house are not open to visitors and are in need of some repair. Citizens for Squirrel Point is a nonprofit which is working to preserve the buildings and the grounds of this historic lighthouse. The river view is pretty from the lighthouse. The is a small parking area at the beginning of the trail."

"Getting to the light house is wrong on maps, take bald head road, and get ready for a walk, there isn’t really a path but it’s easy to follow. Walk will take about 30 minutes it’s about 0.8 of a mile. The problem with this lighthouse is maintenance, it’s beautiful but to see a lighthouse to without repair and the house on site is also run down which is really a shame that someone won’t fund the preservation of this beautiful site."

"Nice little 1.75 hike. This is an easy hike but lots of rocks and exposed roots. Some parts of the trail could be a little muddy. The lighthouse and the grounds are a nice stop."

"Be sure to take water as it is a longer hike to the lighthouse thru the woods. It was a beautiful walk but for my 72 year old husband it was a hard walk due to the uneven ground. Would I do it again definitely, but would be more prepared."
