About Rivière Valin Range Front Lighthouse
The Rivière Valin Range Front lighthouse, built in 1977, is a 26-meter concrete square pyramidal skeletal tower. It is painted black and orange and carries an orange trapezoidal daymark with a black vertical stripe. Its white light has a geographic range of 14.8 nautical miles. This structure serves as an upstream range light, guiding vessels westbound on the Valin River near its mouth. The lighthouse is located about 10 km northeast of Saguenay, on the north side of the river.
Why it matters: This range front light works with a rear light to provide critical directional guidance for westbound vessels navigating upstream on the Valin River towards Saguenay.
