About This Access Site
**Location & Parking**
Anchor Court is a public boat launch located at 282 Anchor's Court on Marina Island in St. Joseph, Michigan. Access the ramp via Anchor's Way. The site requires a parking fee or valid Michigan recreational passport for entry.

**Ramp Specifications & Suitability**
This is a developed boat ramp suitable for trailer launching and hand-carry access to the St. Joseph River. The facility can accommodate boats up to 35 feet in length, provided they do not exceed a 3-foot draft—useful information for deeper-keeled vessels. The ramp is appropriate for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters of varying experience levels.

**What to Know Before You Go**
As a state-managed boating access site, expect typical amenities and fee collection at the gate. The location provides direct access to the St. Joseph River, a navigable waterway in southwestern Michigan. Confirm current fees, hours of operation, and any seasonal closures through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources or the City of St. Joseph before your visit.
