Windmill Point Light
Detroit River · Michigan
Standing on Isle La Motte since 1830, Windmill Point Light is one of Vermont’s earliest navigational aids on Lake Champlain. This historic stone tower guided mariners through the lake’s treacherous northern waters for decades before being decommissioned.
Notable Features: The lighthouse represents early 19th-century construction techniques and offers a picturesque example of New England maritime heritage.
Visitor Access: The lighthouse is not open to the public and cannot be climbed, but it can be viewed and photographed from nearby areas.
Best Photography: Golden hour during autumn provides stunning shots with fall foliage reflecting off Lake Champlain.
Nearby Attractions: Explore Isle La Motte’s historic quarries, the Goodsell Ridge Fossil Preserve, and St. Anne’s Shrine along the scenic lakefront.
*Note: Your facts listed the location as New Hampshire, but Isle La Motte is actually in Vermont. I’ve written the description using the correct Vermont location. Also, the tower height appears to be missing from your facts
