Great spot to stop. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good depth in the harbor. Sharp turns getting into the harbor though. Good restaurants and shopping in town. Clean bathrooms. Highly recommend "up north 23 " for a restaurant. Excellent food and service.

Great harbor and staff. Easy in and out for our 34ft vessel. Town was very quiet but we were there in early June and I don't think their season is in full swing yet. Staff was really nice and helpful. Facilities were really nice and clean.

Very nice sheltered marina. Good help with fuel and docking. 2 washers and dryers are available. During business hours they will take you into town to one of two groceries or hardware stores. There are restaurants that are within walking distance. Lots of fishing boats are docked here. Restrooms and showers were average.

One of the very best Harbor Masters I've ever experienced. Earlier in the day I was told by a gentleman that everything would be closed by the time of my arrival. I wouldn't be able to get fuel or a pump out. By the time I arrived I was greeted by a delightful young lady working overtime to see that we were taken care of. She was amazing. She knew here equipment inside and out. Both the pump out process and fueling were a work of art. After fueling she walked me to my slip assignment to get a feel for the site. After a long day on the water It's wonderful to end the day in good hands. This is a beautiful marina.

Great marina with attentive staff. We took advantage of the courtesy vehicle service twice, staff members drive you where you want to go, this was a great help for provisioning. There is a Save-a-lot within walking distance and a really nice grocery that required a ride. There is a nice beach and park right next to the marina. The marina was well maintained and clean.

Arrival 7 June 2022. Water depth is between 10 and 12 ft both channel and inner harbor adjacent to the fuel dock. Diesel price was $5.459/gallon. Harbor piers and service posts are in excellent condition. Restroom with showers is in the marina office building. Internet is offered. There is a short walk, 500 ft, to downtown on 3rd Street where grocery stores, eateries and shops are available.

Typical Michigan State Marina. Small town nearby. Nice solid floating docks with both cleats and posts. Modern restroom/shower, but could be a bit cleaner.

Nice marina with fixed docks and good power. Easy access from Lake Huron. Restrooms are dated but clean. Nice small grocery store and a great meat shop a couple of blocks from the marina. Marina is surrounded by a large park that prohibits dogs but there are enough nice areas to go for a long walk.

Rogers City Marina is another good example of the Michigan State DNR harbor system. A double turn entry for protection and the well-marked approach channel to the harbor carries a minimum of 10 foot depths inside. The gas dock/pump out is an easy side tie on a wide fairway and the slips are large and well maintained. Dock hands were there to help us tie up and were responsive to our needs. Slips were wide and in good condition. 30 and 50 amp electric service was available on the breakwater wall.

The marina is well maintained, with a picnic tables spaced out on the breakwater and the shore along with grill pits for cooking. Bathrooms were clean as were the grounds. Open wifi is available but we had trouble getting connected. Cellular service was good so we used that. As with other state marinas there is no security so there is non-boating traffic on the docks and breakwater. There is a small grill/ice cream shop right next to the marina and town beach with outside seating.

Rogers City is not that large but there is a good Save a Lot grocery store and a Family Dollar store two blocks from the Marina. A hardware store is a block further away if needed.

Clean restrooms, staff assists during docking. Groceries and snack bar within a block of the marina. Closest lower peninsula marina to the North Channel.
