About East Peoria Lighthouse
Also known as: East Peoria (Eastport Marina)
A white, 5-meter tower, this light became operational in 2022 at river mile 164.3 on the east side of Lake Peoria. It emits a green flash every 6 seconds, visible for 8.4 nautical miles. The structure replaced an earlier navigational aid. The Eastport Marina, where it is located, has since updated its outer breakwaters to floating barriers. The light stands at the former end of the main breakwater.
Why it matters: This light clearly marks the breakwater, guiding vessels into Eastport Marina on the Illinois River and enhancing safety for boats entering or leaving the harbor.
