About Port-Saint-François Range Front Lighthouse
A concrete square pyramidal pier supports the lantern for the Port-Saint-François Range Front light. This structure was built and first lit in 1906, standing 11 meters tall with a focal height of 11 meters. Its continuous green light is visible for 10.7 nautical miles. The station was originally established in 1849. This front range light guides vessels leaving Lac St.-Pierre.
