Other Lighthouse Information:
The Woodsum Brothers built the original three lighthouses on the lake in the 1890s. Lake Sunapee is ten miles long and three miles wide. Unfortunately the Burkehaven lighthouse was destroyed by ice in 1936. In the mid 1980's the lighthouse was rebuilt but this time it was given solar power lights. This is the most southern of the three lighthouses on Lake Sunapee. One can see the lighthouse from Lake Sunapee Cruises.




The Lighthouse Hunters Experience:
We rented a twenty foot pontoon boat for two hours from Sargents Marina in Georges Mills, NH. We had a great time on the water photographing all three of the lighthouses (Burkehaven, Herrick Cove and Loon Island) on Lake Sunapee. We both enjoyed being at the helm tooling around the lake.
