Standing along the Delaware River in Port Penn, Delaware, the Baker Shoal Range Rear Light has guided mariners since 1904. Built as part of a range light system, it helped vessels navigate the treacherous shoals of the Delaware Bay. The light remains active today, continuing over a century of service to maritime navigation.

The tower is notable for its enduring operational history and its quiet setting amid the coastal wetlands of Port Penn. The lighthouse is not open to the public, so visitors cannot climb it, but it can be viewed and photographed from nearby areas. Golden hour offers the best light for photography. While visiting, explore the Port Penn Interpretive Center and the surrounding Augustine Wildlife Area.
