Boating and Marinas in Michigan
Michigan is a glorious place for boaters. What makes it that way? Michigan’s wonderful rivers, more than 11,000 inland lakes, coastal areas and the open waters of the Great Lakes. From more than 1,300 different public access points, one is never too far from slicing through the waves of Lake Superior, fishing in Lakes Michigan or Huron or seeking refuge in one of Michigan’s harbors.
Boating is also serious business; the industry has a significant and positive economic impact in Michigan, with nearly $4 billion in trips and boat spending and approximately 51,000 jobs supported.
Michigan Sea Grant promotes responsible use of our water resources through education. The popular Know Your Nets website helps to ensure that boaters know how to identify and avoid fishing nets. Sea Grant supports marinas through training materials that promote best practices, as part of the Michigan Clean Marina Program.
