The Lighthouse at Great Bend at Butler Basin was dedicated at dusk on Saturday, July 21,2001. Work continue into the afternoon to ensure that the light was ready for dedication. At the flip of the switch, the halogen light started to rotate at a standard four revolutions per minute. For those of us there, including the Guntersville Yacht Club, it was a memorable experience, with fireworks, food, music and dance, Since July 21, it automatically comes on every evening right after sunset.

The lighthouse stands approximately 36 ft. 4 in. above its base, with the base adding another 5 ft. at rivers edge for a total of 41 ft. 4 in. With circular stairs going up to the working light, and a door going out onto the observation deck, it is truly a functional lighthouse. One can truly say it is the only lighthouse in Huntsville, Alabama, and to this authors knowledge, is the only lighthouse on the Tennessee River. With restrooms on the first floor, pool equipment on the second, and a spectacular observation deck, the Great Bend lighthouse was designed for the sole enjoyment of the owners and guest of Great Bend at Butler Basin.
