Goderich North Pier Range Rear Lighthouse

This white, cylindrical skeletal mast stands 15 meters tall and is located on a pier in Goderich, Ontario, marking a range for safe navigation into the harbor on Lake Huron. It carries a daymark that is white with an orange vertical stripe. The light has a focal height of 19 meters and a geographic range of 12.9 nautical miles. Positioned 0.2 kilometers from the nearest port, it functions as the rear light in a range system, designed to align with a front range light. This alignment establishes a precise visual path for vessels entering the harbor.

Why it matters: This rear range light is essential for vessels approaching Goderich Harbour, providing the alignment necessary to safely enter one of Lake Huron's significant ports. Its function within a range system mitigates navigation risks in a busy commercial channel.
