Description
Doubling Point Light...not the most popular of Maine's lighthouses or the most scenic. But It was one of my favorite adventures just trying to find it! The directions seemed simple enough....except you end up on a narrow dirt road at the end and all the driveways are 'posted'. So you definitely don't want to make a wrong turn! I crept down the road very slowly making sure I was not inadvertently on someone's property until I reached the end of the road. There I felt like I was transported to another time and place, and I was patting myself on the back for having made the journey! The keeper's house, although privately owned, appeared deserted, and there was no one else around. I enjoyed a visit of about 45 min just walking around until the spell was broken by another car arriving! The location seemed so remote that could hardly believe anyone else would be there. The separate Doubling Point Range Lights nearby are even more fun to find! This lighthouse is on the Kennebec River, in Arrowsic, Maine. The Doubling Point light was established in 1898, fifteen years after the founding of the Bath Iron Works, a major shipbuilder, one and a half miles upriver. It was part of a major upgrade of the river's lights to assist in river navigation.
