Bay Harbor Lake Marina

Bay Harbor Lake Marina is a full-service access point on the eastern shore of Little Traverse Bay, an inlet of Lake Michigan near Petoskey. This protected harbor provides excellent access to Lake Michigan's waters and is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and larger recreational boats. The facility features modern amenities including a boat ramp, seasonal and transient docking options, and is a certified Michigan Clean Marina, making it a reliable spot for launching trips onto the bay and lake.

The marina's protected harbor location makes it an ideal staging area for exploring Little Traverse Bay's scenic shoreline. Paddlers launching from here will find a sheltered entry point before venturing onto open Lake Michigan waters. The surrounding area offers convenient access to services, including shops, dining, and accommodations in the nearby Village of Bay Harbor. The site is also wheelchair accessible with ramps throughout the facility, and visitors can enjoy the nearby 26-mile Little Traverse Wheelway for pre- or post-paddle activities.
