Point Adams Light was a lighthouse near the mouth of the Columbia River on the Oregon Coast of the United States.
[2] It was located about a mile south of Point Adams—named by Captain Robert Gray in 1792 [1]—near what is now Battery Russell in Fort Stevens State Park.
The combination of the Point Adams Light with the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse on the north side of the river effectively framed the entrance to the Columbia.
At the same time, the fog signal was removed: it had long been criticized by mariners as being inaudible over waves crashing on shore.
[1] The keeper considered the biggest maintenance problem to be the prevention of sand accumulation at the base of the lighthouse.
