About Goderich North Pier Range Front Lighthouse
This white, cylindrical Claymar tower stands 9 meters tall and carries a daymark featuring an orange vertical stripe. Located on the North Pier in Goderich, Ontario, on the shores of Lake Huron, it functions as the front light in a range system. With a focal height of 10.5 meters, it has a geographic range of 10.5 nautical miles. This operational light guides vessels approaching the harbor, working in tandem with a rear light to mark the proper channel. The nearest port is Goderich, just 0.2 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This range front light is indispensable for safe navigation into Goderich Harbour, particularly for large commercial vessels transporting goods like salt and grain. Its precise alignment with the rear range light ensures ships can accurately enter the dredged channel, avoiding potential groundings in the often-challenging waters of Lake Huron.
