Schoodic Scenic Byway
Winter Harbor Light, ME

Schoodic's lighthouse, called "Mark Island Light" by the local people, is most worthy of a photograph. The best place to photograph this site with Cadillac Mountain in the background is from the park road, about a quarter mile after entering the park. Built in 1856 on little Mark Island, the lighthouse was discontinued in 1934 and converted to a vacation home. Today the lighthouse is owned by a writer and retired banker. He has renovated the lighthouse so that it is in the best shape it has been for years. Unfortunately, it's not open to the public, but is still a delightful sight.
