Belyea's Point Light, Riverside lighthouse in Morrisdale, New Brunswick

The white wooden tower stands 11 meters tall with a red lantern and trim, positioned along the Saint John River near Morrisdale.

The Canadian Parliament allocated 800 dollars for the construction of the lighthouse in 1881, with operations starting on June 1, 1882.

The lighthouse bears the name of its first keeper, Spafford Barker Belyea, and the first United Empire Loyalist settler in the area, Hendrick Belyea.

The lighthouse emits a green flash every five seconds at a height of 14 meters, helping vessels navigate safely around Purdy's Shoal.

During spring floods, the elevated structure appears to float on the Saint John River until water levels return to normal.
