MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • May 23, 2021
This month we are exploring lights on the opposite end of the bold coast spectrum – the three unique Kennebec River lighthouses south of Bath. These riverside lights have guided ships up and down the Kennebec since 1898. We put in at the Morse Cove State Boat Launch on the Fiddlers Reach Road in Phippsburg and headed four miles downriver to Squirrel Point Light. An hour later we were exploring the grounds of the Kennebec River Range Lights near the northern end of Fiddlers Reach. One last light remained; Doubling Point Light. This octagonal white wooden light marks the right angle turn up to Bath. ~ Michael Perry
