About Beauharnois Upper Entrance Range Rear Lighthouse
A square skeletal tower standing 28 meters tall marks the Beauharnois Upper Entrance Range Rear. This orange structure, accented with a black vertical stripe, carries a green light with a focal height of 28 meters. It was established around 2017, replacing an earlier navigational aid. The light emits a continuous green signal, designed to guide vessels downstream into the western entrance of the Beauharnois Canal. Its geographic range extends to 14.9 nautical miles. While the tower is closed to the public, the site itself remains accessible.
Why it matters: This rear range light is indispensable for commercial vessels navigating the St. Lawrence Seaway, providing the precise alignment needed to safely enter the western approach of the Beauharnois Canal.
