The Willamette River Light was a navigational lighthouse at the mouth of the Willamette River in the U.S. state of Oregon near Portland, which marked the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. It existed as a lighthouse with keeper from 1895 to 1935,[1] and as an unattended light from 1935 onwards. The original building burned down in 1955.[2] The only visible remains of the station today are broken wooden pilings sticking out of the water near Kelley Point Park.[3]
