Medium-sized marina with multiple docks, slips, boat ramp, adjacent campground/RV parking, and unpaved surface parking lots without visible vehicles.
Onekama Marine - Yard 2 is a marina located in the village of Onekama, Michigan, along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, one of the Great Lakes, where it sits in a region characterized by sandy beaches, forested dunes, and the scenic Portage Lake channel connecting to the lake. It serves recreational boating and sailing enthusiasts who navigate the expansive freshwater waters of Lake Michigan, a popular area for exploring the Midwest's natural coastline. This setting in northern Michigan's Lower Peninsula provides access to both sheltered inland waters and the open lake for various boating pursuits.
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.
