There are innumerable bays, inlets and off-lying islands with an extremely complex seafloor. Deep trenches, shallow water shoal-infested areas, and rapidly changing depths provide a challenge to even state-of-the-art hydrographic survey systems. Reduced visibility in fog, ice-infested waters, isolation, and a short survey season make this coastal area one of the most challenging places in the world to conduct hydrographic surveys.

The tower was automated in 1988 and was damaged beyond repair by a collision with the oil tanker Aegeo in October, 1996. The structure was then demolished and replaced with a small light tower/platform.

This stretch of 125-mile-long Lake Champlain is quite narrow, averaging only two miles in width. Barber’s Point was thus a logical place for a ferry, and records indicate that Hezekiah Barber operated one that crossed Lake Champlain between Barber’s Point, NY and Arnold Bay (Panton), VT. The geography at Barber’s Point also made it a prime candidate for a lighthouse.
