About Rains Wharf Range Rear Lighthouse
This square skeletal tower stands 14 meters tall and is painted white with an orange vertical stripe. Its light is located 16.5 meters above the water and emits a continuous white flash. The structure carries a daymark that matches its coloring. Located off Ontario Highway 548, it is a short distance south of the Sailors' Encampment Church in St. Joseph Township. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
