Greetings from the sunny shores of Sodus Point. The WeatherBug camera is ,most often, aimed at the "Sodus Point Outer Pier Light". The body of water is Lake Ontario. The 14th largest body of fresh water in the world. The pier light is sitting upon a concrete pier which extends 1000 feet into the lake. The light serves as guide to vessels entering the channel leading into Great Sodus Bay. The bay is the largest safe harbor on lake Ontario. The bay covers 3000 acres of open water and offers aprox. 21 miles of shoreline.There are three islands inside the bay.During the 19th and early 20th centuries, many wealthy families maintained summer homes on the islands.The Woodward family, of JELL-O fame, as well as the Jackson and Perkins families. The deepest part of the bay is only 40 feet. The bay freezes to nearly 16 inches at best. The lake does not ice over. The solar powered pier light , in view, was erected in 1938 to The pier is accessible to the public and is used by both fisherman and sightseers. The present pier light is the fourth beacon to serve the site since the 1830's. The light keeper responsible for maintaining the Sodus Bay Lighthouse (built in 1870 of Canadian limestone) , from where the weatherbug camera is perched, was also required to maintain the pier light. This duty was ,at times,treacherous as the weather can be extremely hostile during the winter. Waves ,regularly, engulf most of the pier walk and tower during the worst of the winter gales. Other times the pier is covered with a shroud of ice and snow. The Bay is lovely and enjoyed by recreational boaters and fisherman. The shores are lined with lovely homes, and there are public boat ramps and public beaches for all to enjoy.There is so much to tell about this little village on the shores of Lake Ontario and Great Sodus Bay that only a trip out here will truly tell the tale.
