Crooked River Light also know as Carrabelle Light was built in 1895. The tower is a wrought Iron skeletal tower in a square pyramidal shape with central cylinder. The lantern room is black and has a balcony surrounding it. The tower is bright red on the upper half and white for the lower. It sits on about an acre of land amid pine trees on the Florida Gulf Coast. The tower stands 100 ft high and shines out to see 17 nautical miles. The lighthouse was constructed in 1895 and remained in operation until it was decommissioned in 1995. The Carrabell Lighthouse Association has restored the lighthouse and an acrylic replica of the original 4th order fresnel lens was installed. The lighthouse still serves as an aid to navigation.
