Tier 2
Crescent City Rear Range Light
Crescent City · Del Norte County · North Coast
Included as an open research question. The entry exists so a corrected record has somewhere to land. May be a data artifact, or may be a small unlisted navigational aid distinct from Battery Point Lighthouse. We would rather publish an unresolved entry than quietly omit a station that might exist.

The story
Listed in some secondary sources as a separate active range light for Crescent City Harbor, but absent from the U.S. Coast Guard Historian's Office records and the NPS Inventory of Historic Light Stations. The USCG Light List does not include a separate rear range light for Crescent City.
The visit
No confirmed public access. If you have firsthand knowledge of this light's current status, contact the Del Norte County Historical Society — they steward Battery Point Lighthouse a short walk away and would know.

Battery Point Lighthouse
★ Flagship 12Crescent City, North Coast
The tsunami survival story is one of the most dramatic in California lighthouse history. The tidal island setting — walk across at low tide, stranded at high tide — is unlike any other California lighthouse experience. The museum inside the original keeper's dwelling is excellent.
St. George Reef Lighthouse
Crescent City, North Coast
The most expensive and most remote lighthouse in California history. The Brother Jonathan wreck story is one of the most dramatic in Pacific Coast maritime history. The helicopter tour is a bucket-list experience.
