About Saginaw Approach Range Front Lighthouse
This cylindrical range front light stands 20 meters tall, with a focal height of 20 meters, guiding vessels on their final approach to the Saginaw River. Its square skeletal tower is mounted on a round pier. The light emits a continuous red signal, visible for 13.2 nautical miles. The U.S. Coast Guard maintains this active aid, which is located just off the river mouth on the west side of the channel. While the site is open to visitors who can reach it by boat, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This range light is indispensable for safe navigation into the Saginaw River, specifically guiding vessels through the final segment of their approach.
