About Pointe au Baril Range Rear Lighthouse
The Pointe au Baril Range Rear lighthouse, built in 1909, stands on Macklin Island as a square pyramidal skeletal tower reaching 23 meters in height. It features an enclosed lantern, gallery, and watch room, with its white structure accented by red trim and a distinctive red vertical stripe aligned with the range. This rear range light emits a continuous red signal, designed to be visible only when a vessel is correctly positioned on the designated course. The light's geographic range extends to 14.7 nautical miles. Although the site is open to visitors, the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse provides a precise range line essential for safe passage through the waters it oversees, preventing groundings and collisions in the channel.
