The Peche Island Lighthouse, actually the Peche Island Rear Range Light, was built in 1908 and was stationed off Peche Island in Lake St. Clair. The light was decommissioned in 1982 after a numbers of years of leaning. It was replaced by a skeletal steel tower with an orange and white daymark. The round, conical steel plate tower is topped by a black walkway and white lantern. The tower has only a single window. The lighthouse stood in Canadian waters, but Michigan Bank - Port Huron relocated the tower to Marine City where it was dedicated on August 21, 1983.
