Montauk Harbor, in the northern part of Lake Montauk, is entered through a dredged channel on the northern shore about 3 miles west of Montauk Point; a Federal project provides for a depth of 12 feet in the channel and 10 feet in the boat basin northwestward of Star Island. The entrance is protected by jetties, each of which is marked by a light. A lighted bell buoy, about 0.3 mile north of the entrance, marks the approach to the harbor.
Star Island, just inside Montauk Harbor, is connected to the mainland by a causeway. A private light is shown from the eastern side of the island. A privately marked channel, with a reported controlling depth of 7 feet in 1999, leads from beyond the end of the federal channel to the southern part of Lake Montauk where there are depths of 6 to 8 feet in the center.
