Big Traverse Bay Harbor Marina

Big Traverse Bay Harbor Marina in Lake Linden provides a well-equipped launch point for exploring Lake Superior's waters. The marina features a bulkhead with 10 slips accommodating both seasonal and transient boaters, with water and power available at each slip. Additional amenities include fuel, sewage pump-out facilities, restrooms, and shower facilities, making it a convenient base for extended paddling trips or day excursions on the lake.

The location offers excellent access to two notable recreation areas: the Keweenaw Waterway, featuring scenic passages through the Portage River in the Keweenaw Peninsula, and the Keweenaw National Historical Park, which offers cultural and historical context to the region's rich copper mining heritage spanning thousands of years. Paddlers should be prepared for Lake Superior's conditions—this is a large, deep freshwater lake that demands respect for weather and water temperatures. The marina's floating dock system accommodates water level fluctuations, which is important for boaters launching from this Superior access point.
