A state park on the waterfront in downtown Detroit! Nice grounds surround the marina area with the harbor being securely fenced in. The staff offered, or provided, no assistance when docking however the calm harbor with large fairways made dockage easy. Art, a fellow boater and long time tenant, will step up to give you a hand if he is on the dock. Quite the ambassador. All the typical amenities were present and operational. The harbor provided good protection from the river and is easily accessible.

Loved being close to the city. The staff was not very helpful but the self proclaimed Ambassador of the Marina, Art was. If you ever stop here give him a shout out. You'll be glad you did.

Solid docks right in downtown Detroit. Gated secure marina. Riverwalk is 3.5 miles long and a great place to walk a dog. Lots of road noise in the evening. No help docking the boat and no one answered the radio.
