William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor

Harbor itself is great! Docks are pretty well maintained. Power and water stations are in good shape as are most dock boards.

No pilings in the wells but the 4x4's attached to the docks do the job.

The mooring cleats are fabulous!!!

The bathrooms and other facilities are about average for a public marina.

Make sure to check-in at the Harbor Master office upon arrival as that's not clear in their instructions. They give you the key code for the bathrooms and entry gate. However, I think that office is only staffed until 4pm on wknds.

My problem with the marina has more to do with its resulting location. Atwater St. (marina borders this street) is basically a cruising strip for young adults blaring music and squealing tires...until > 2am on wknds.

I frequently visit downtown Detroit and the neighborhood around the marina still needs some work. There are still some shady elements around the area...so beware...especially if walking back from downtown late at night.

I'd recommend staying on the main streets (or river walk) and away from the parking decks where people are existing and may view others as a threat or target.
