Munising Rear Range Light, Steel lighthouse in Munising, Michigan, US.
The Munising Rear Range Light stands 30 feet tall on a hill, working together with a front range light to guide vessels through the east channel.
Congress approved funding for the range lights in March 1907, leading to their construction and first illumination on October 30, 1908.
Multiple lighthouse keepers maintained the structure until the 1960s when operations transferred to the Coast Guard and later to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
The lighthouse remains operational and can be reached from M 28 and Hemlock Street, with nearby access to Bayshore Park and Marina facilities.
The rear range light works in conjunction with the front tower, requiring mariners to align both lights to determine their exact position in the waterway.
