A little bit about Greens Ledge Lighthouse. It was first proposed in 1889 to help mariners through the west entrance to Norwalk Harbor, Greens Ledge Light was constructed at the western end of a long and dangerous shoal extending from Sheffield Island. Completed in 1902, Greens Ledge Light towers nearly 100 feet above Long Island Sound. In 1933, more than 30,000 tons of protective rocks from the excavation of Radio City Music Hall were added to the riprap foundation. Over one hundred years later Greens Ledge Light continues to shine as an active aid to navigation. Greens Ledge has just completed a massive renovation project and reopened to the public in 2022.

Guests can also observe the wildlife in their natural habitat in the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, hunt for shells along the beach, dine on a picnic lunch, play on the lawns around the Lighthouse, and simply have a good time. During this unforgettable adventure tour of Sheffield Island and Lighthouse, you'll step directly from the boat into the past.
