About IVY Club Breakwater Lighthouse
The IVY Club Breakwater light was established in 2013 and is located at the end of the extended breakwater for the IVY Club in Peoria Heights, Illinois. This octagonal steel tower stands 6 meters tall, with a focal height of 8.5 meters. Its lower half is painted white and the upper half red, topped by a black lantern. The light emits a single white flash, visible for 9.9 nautical miles. The structure rests on an octagonal concrete base. While the site is open to the public, the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This privately maintained light clearly marks the end of the IVY Club's breakwater, guiding boaters safely into the club's harbor. Its presence demonstrates how local community efforts can supplement official navigational systems.
