Finn's Point Rear Range Lighthouse

Finn's Point Rear Range Lighthouse is a distinctive 115-foot wrought iron skeletal tower within Fort Mott State Park. Though no longer climbable, its impressive structure marks the location of an important Civil War-era fortification.

Finn's Point Rear Range Lighthouse was built in 1877 as part of a range light system guiding ships through the Delaware River. The rear range light worked in conjunction with a front range light to create a navigable channel.

The skeletal tower design was chosen to withstand the high winds common along the Delaware River. The wrought iron construction allowed light to pass through, reducing wind resistance.

Located within Fort Mott State Park, the lighthouse is surrounded by Civil War-era fortifications built to defend the Delaware River approaches to Philadelphia.
