Large marina with extensive docks on a river, surrounded by a vast unpaved parking lot filled with numerous vehicles and trailers, plus multiple industrial buildings.
Anchor Bay Marina is located in Chesterfield Township, Michigan, along the shores of Anchor Bay, a sheltered inlet of Lake St. Clair, which connects Lake Huron and Lake Erie within the Great Lakes system. This geographic setting offers access to the calm, freshwater waters of the bay, making it suitable for recreational sailing and boating in a region known for its vibrant Great Lakes maritime activity. It primarily serves boaters exploring the nearby waters of Lake St. Clair and the broader Great Lakes network.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
