The Munising Rear Range Light works with the Munising Front Range Light to project a line of light out into Lake Superior in order to guide boats from the open lake into the safe harbor at Munising, Michigan.[1] This harbor is a natural bay (thus providing protection from easterly or westerly storms) and sheltered on the north by Grand Island. Grand Island however provides a serious navigation hazard, and as boats navigate in the East Channel, there are several dangerous rock ledges that have the potential to sink a vessel. This pair of range lights replaced the ineffective Grand Island East Channel Light in 1905. The history of these lighthouses is documented by Terry Pepper[2] and is not reproduced here.

The light is located on the hill south of the village of Munising.[3] It is only a Script error: No such module "convert". steel tower, but located up on the hill, it is Script error: No such module "convert". above the lake level. It contains an incandescent electric light inside a red shield.
