Medium-sized marina with multiple docks holding numerous boats, adjacent to a large striped asphalt parking lot with many visible vehicles and surrounded by wooded areas.
Buffalo Bay Marina is situated in the Town of Russell, Kenosha County, Wisconsin, along the western shores of Lake Michigan, one of the Great Lakes, where it benefits from the region's scenic freshwater coastline and proximity to urban areas like Kenosha. It serves recreational sailors and boaters who utilize the expansive waters of Lake Michigan for activities such as sailing and fishing in this popular Great Lakes destination. The marina's location in southeastern Wisconsin provides easy access to the lake's varied conditions, from calm bays to open waters.
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.
