Velger Boat Harbor

Velger Boat Harbor in Harrison Township provides boat launch access to Lake St. Clair, a large, relatively shallow Great Lakes water body known for excellent fishing opportunities including walleye, perch, bass, and muskie. The facility features a conventional boat ramp suitable for motorboats and larger vessels. Paddlers should note that this is primarily a motorized boating facility, though the calm waters of Lake St. Clair can be accessible to kayakers and canoeists seeking a scenic paddle along the shoreline.

**Important**: Daily launch access is **available to residents only**, and those using boat wells must register through the Parks and Recreation Department with current vehicle registration, driver's license, boat registration, and proof of insurance. The facility offers amenities including a fish cleaning station and is within walking distance of local restaurants and shops. The famous wooden boardwalk provides scenic views of Great Lakes freighter traffic. For non-residents or those seeking dedicated paddle launch facilities, nearby alternatives like the St. Clair City Boat Harbor (which offers carry-down access for kayaks and canoes) may be worth considering.
