Description: Belyeas Point Lighthouse is one of only two hazard lights on the river. As seen in a photograph to the left, the area is prone to flooding. The station was established in 1898, but severe flooding damaged the original tower in the 1930s, leading to the tower being rebuilt and relocated from its original position lower on the shore. Even resting atop pylons on more elevated terrain, the new Belyeas Point Lighthouse has been damaged by the spring freshet several times.
