Medium-sized marina with multiple parallel docks full of boats, surrounded by several striped surface parking lots containing numerous vehicles, integrated into a residential-commercial area.
Ellenwood Marina is situated in Montague, Michigan, along the shores of White Lake, which serves as a protected harbor connected to the expansive waters of Lake Michigan, one of the Great Lakes. This marina caters to recreational sailors and boaters seeking access to freshwater sailing and navigation in the Lake Michigan region, offering opportunities for exploring the nearby coastal areas of western Michigan. Its location in this Great Lakes watershed makes it ideal for those interested in the natural beauty and varying water conditions of the area.
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.
