Stony Point Light stands at the southern entrance to the Hudson Highlands in Stony Point, New York. Built in 1826, this historic lighthouse served Hudson River mariners for over a century before being deactivated. The modest stone tower sits within Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Site, where a pivotal Revolutionary War raid occurred in 1779. While the lighthouse is not open to the public or climbable, visitors can view it from the surrounding trails and shoreline. Golden hour provides the best photography, with the Hudson River and highlands as a backdrop. Nearby, explore the battlefield museum, hiking trails along the river, and the Bear Mountain Bridge just minutes north.
