About Dorval Course Range Rear Lighthouse
This cylindrical steel tower, standing 24 meters tall, is painted orange with a black vertical stripe. It is mounted on a round concrete pier that includes a gallery. The light is green and displays a continuous green signal. This structure is located in the St. Lawrence River, about 800 meters northwest of the Dixie Range Front Light. It serves as the rear marker for a downstream range, guiding vessels approaching Montréal on the St. Lawrence Seaway. Access to the site is by boat only, and while visitors are welcome, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This range light is indispensable for safe passage on the St. Lawrence Seaway, directing large vessels through a critical downstream approach to Montréal. Its continuous green light ensures ships maintain the correct course in a heavily trafficked waterway.
