About Gentilly Range Rear Lighthouse
The Gentilly Range Rear light stands as a slender, square steel skeletal tower, painted red with a black vertical stripe. Built in 2008, this 24-meter structure replaced an earlier light that was first established in 1907. Its focal plane reaches 31 meters, casting a green light with a characteristic of a single green flash. The tower's design is functional, intended to provide clear visual alignment for vessels. Its geographic range extends to 15.5 nautical miles, supporting navigation along the south shore of the river near Bécancour.
Why it matters: As a rear range light, Gentilly provides critical directional guidance for vessels navigating the river near Bécancour. Its alignment with the front range light ensures ships maintain the correct course within the safe channel.
