About Île Dupas Range Front Lighthouse
This square concrete and wood tower, built in 1907, stands 5 meters tall with a focal height of 14 meters. It is painted white with a bright orange-red front and a black vertical stripe. The structure sits on a square pyramidal concrete pier on Île aux Cochons, northwest of the river south of Berthierville. Its green light flashes once every 4 seconds, providing a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This range front light is indispensable for safe navigation on the river south of Berthierville, specifically guiding downstream traffic. Its unique color scheme provides a highly visible and precise alignment marker for vessels.
