About Wilson Channel Range Rear Lighthouse
Established in 1905, this square, pyramidal wood tower stands 9 meters tall, painted white with red trim and a red vertical stripe on the range line. It serves as the rear range light for the Wilson Channel, positioned on the north side of the waterway east of the ON 548 bridge. The light emits a fixed red beam, with a focal height of 35.5 meters, offering a geographic range of 16.3 nautical miles. It is located 220 meters northeast of its corresponding front light. The Canadian Coast Guard maintains its operational status.
Why it matters: This rear range light provides a critical alignment point for vessels navigating the Wilson Channel, particularly near the ON 548 bridge and the approach to St. Joseph Island.
