Galloo Island Light is located on Galloo Island in Lake Ontario near Sacketts Harbor, New York. Most of the island and light tower is private property, with an easement for the Coast Guard for the light in the tower. There is a small Coast Guard Station on the island.[5]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
