Lake McConaughy Lighthouse, Nebraska

This small lighthouse by a reservoir of the North Platte River is located in Nebraska. It is a 35 ft. round stone lighthouse with lantern and gallery situated on a bluff. The tower is unpainted and its lantern is painted black. Near the lighthouse is a small gazebo.

Lake McConaughy, the reservoir, was formed by damming the North Platte River in Keith County, north of Ogallala in western Nebraska. This lake is 22 miles long and approximately 4 miles wide.

  1. The concept of an inland lighthouse caused a pause; But I guess land-locked folks in a small boat on that big lake might appreciate a guiding light, eh?
