Anchor in The Cove

Drop anchor and unwind—take a swim, hike the dunes, or soak up the sun. “The Cove” is a scenic 40-minute cruise through the no-wake stretch of the Kalamazoo River, with a stunning nature preserve lining the south shore the entire way.

Eat at Red Dock

Dock at the “Key West of the Midwest” and enjoy a drink, grab a bite, and catch live music right on the water. Prefer to drive? Parking is also available.

Saugatuck Dunes

2.5 miles of pristine Lake Michigan shoreline offering towering coastal dunes and wooded trails. With 13 miles of scenic trails, visitors can explore rolling terrain and sandy paths leading to the water. For quick access, try the 0.75-mile Yellow Beach Trail.

Take the Chain Ferry

Testimonials

Can't recommend this enough! We had a little pontoon, and it was only 45 minutes through the channel to Lake Michigan from the rental area. There is a canopy for sun cover, and the seats feel like a couch. You could fit 4 people comfortably. There is easy access to put your feet over the edge into the lake. Also, the pontoon has a blue tooth speaker.
