    Very clean facilities. This was our first trip to Marquette by boat. Love the city, of course, and the marina was comfortable, friendly and easy to access.

    Easy to get to. Friendly staff, clean bathrooms, great shower! Easy walk to town. And if they have no room for you, the West Bay is a great anchorage.

    The anchorage is inside the harbor (bay) not outside!! Come into the bay and anchor on the south shoreline. Plenty of water, great protection. We anchored in 35 feet of water, so had to put out more rode than usual. But it was peaceful and quiet all night. Not sure if it gets busier on weekends….

    Easy in, easy out. Mud bottom with good holding. Enter from downstream to avoid the shoaling on upstream corner. We stayed here near flood stage so strong current (.75?)12 feet all the way in 14 feet at anchor.

    We went further in to the bend and anchored in 12 feet for a totally protected evening. Little to no current. They call it Pickensville #3 on some charts.
