Peche Island Rear Range Light
The Peche Island Rear Range Light (or Peach Island Rear Range Light) was a historic lighthouse "off Peche Island in the entrance to the Detroit River from Lake St. Clair." Located in American waters just north of the border to Canada. This light was built as part of a pair of range lights to guide ships to the south end of the lake. Erected on a crib in open water, by 1980 it had developed a severe list to one side, and in 1983 it was replaced with a skeletal tower. The old tower was saved, and minus its base, was installed in lighthouse Park in Marine City, where it still stands as one of Michigan's beautiful lighthouses. Standing at a height of 66 feet.
