About Saint-Michel Range Front Lighthouse
The Saint-Michel Range Front light is a 25-meter steel skeletal mast constructed in 2006. It features a trapezoidal daymark painted orange with a black vertical stripe. The structure supports a continuous white light with a focal height of 30 meters. This light has a geographic range of 15.3 nautical miles. The station was first established in 1928, with the current mast replacing an earlier lighthouse. It is situated on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River in Saint-Michel-de-Bellechasse, approximately 18 km east of Québec City.
Why it matters: This range front light is essential for guiding vessels along specific channels of the St. Lawrence River, particularly when approaching or departing Québec City.
