Naturalist Julie Champion of Metro Beach Metropark reviews a map of Lake St. Clair with discovery cruise participants.

Voyage of Discovery

More than 1,000 people set sail this summer on 43 Summer Discovery Cruises sponsored by Michigan Sea Grant, MSU Extension, and the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority.
The cruises departed from Metro Beach and Lake Erie Metropark in Southeast Michigan, and highlighted the natural and historical features of Lake St. Clair and the lower Detroit River. Nature and history cruises were popular this year, says Extension Educator Steve Stewart, while special cruises highlighted Great Lakes science, art, and fisheries. This was the third year for Summer Discovery Cruises.
