Standing sentinel on Lake Champlain since 1826, Juniper Island Light is one of New Hampshire’s oldest surviving lighthouse structures. This historic tower guided mariners through the lake’s waters for over a century before being deactivated. The lighthouse is notable for its classic New England stone construction and picturesque island setting.

The lighthouse is not open to the public, as Juniper Island remains privately owned. Visitors can view the structure from the water via boat tours departing from Burlington Harbor. For photography, golden hour during summer months offers the best lighting, with the Green Mountains providing a dramatic backdrop.

Nearby attractions include Burlington’s Church Street Marketplace, the ECHO Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, and scenic Lake Champlain cruises.
