Warren Landing Upper Range Lights

The Warren Landing Upper Range Lights are a pair of range lights in Warren Landing, Manitoba at the entrance to the Nelson River. Built in 1908, the lighthouses help to guide ship traffic from Lake Winnipeg into the river. They work in tandem with the Warren Landing Lower Range Lights.
