Marina near Russell Island in the North Channel of the St. Clair River, in Clay Township, Michigan.
Guide
Approach and anchoring
Reached from the North Channel of the St. Clair River delta. Strong current and freighter traffic run through the main channel, so keep clear of the deep-water route.
Practical
Fuel berth and a ship store stocking basic boating supplies. The St. Clair River here holds walleye, bass and perch.
Ashore
The Russell Island Loop, a 4.3-mile paddling circuit, runs round the island through the Grande Pointe Cut. Algonac, with shops and the ferry to Harsens Island and Walpole Island, lies a short run downstream.
