⛵ Getting to the Marina: Construction Update

Hello! We can’t wait to get you out on the water. Please review these updates for a smooth arrival at the Wolverine Park Marina.

The Big Shortcut: Don't let the signs alarm you!
The intersection of State Street and Bayfront Parkway is currently closed for a major improvement project. You may see signs claiming the Bayfront Parkway is closed—for our purposes, it is not.

  • Approaching via Bayfront Parkway: You have clear, direct access to our parking areas.

  • Approaching via Downtown: Only traffic coming directly through downtown is affected by the closure.

  • GPS is your friend: Both Apple Maps and Google Maps are fully updated with the best detour routes.

Timing & Parking
Construction has made parking tighter than usual.

  • Where to Park: We recommend looking for spots in the green areas on the map above or along State Street.

  • The "15/15" Rule: Please add 15 minutes to your travel time for parking, and plan to be at the dock 15 minutes before your adventure begins.

Where to Meet Us 📍

  1. Walk toward the marina (marked with an orange ‘M’ on the map).

  2. Follow the dotted lines to the stairs next to the small octagonal building.

  3. Read on for more detail.

  4. Relax: There’s no need to check in or call us. Grab a seat at the picnic tables, enjoy the bay view, and our crew will come find you right at your scheduled start time!

Pro-Tip for Comfort 🚻
While our boat has a functional restroom, it is "nautical" in size! We highly recommend using the facilities at the marina before we depart for maximum comfort during your trip.

Just head down the stairs and to the left. There’s no need to check in—just grab a seat at the picnic tables, enjoy the view, and our crew will come find you at your scheduled start time!

*If you're the tipping type, consider bringing cash for our volunteer crew in the event that we meet or exceed your expectations.
