It is painted red with a white vertical stripe and stands on a platform supported by piles north of the Wing Dam, off Steveston. The light emits a yellow signal with a characteristic of F Y. This structure serves as the rear component of a range light system, guiding vessels leaving the Fraser River. While the site is accessible, the tower itself is closed to the public.
