Peche Island Rear Range Light, Cast iron lighthouse in St. Clair County, United States.

The Peche Island Rear Range Light features a conical tower structure rising 20 meters above the water at the entrance of Detroit River from Lake St. Clair.

Constructed in 1908 as part of navigation improvements, the lighthouse guided vessels through a newly dredged channel north of Peche Island until its deactivation in 1983.

The lighthouse represents early 20th-century maritime engineering, with its steel plate construction and sixth-order Fresnel lens contributing to safe water navigation in the Great Lakes.

The structure now stands in Lighthouse Park in Marine City, Michigan, after being relocated from its original position in open water near the Canadian border.

The lighthouse underwent multiple rebuilds due to ice damage and vessel collisions before receiving its permanent steel tower design atop a concrete pier.
