In summer,( Memorial Day through Labor Day) enjoy your exclusive use of guest dock for views, coffee, refreshments, music, drinks, relaxing, sunning, and kayaking. Water shoes a must to wade due to rocks, wetsuit makes it enjoyable, when otherwise too cool.

Fish?- Salmon -Atlantics start May end by July. Good Lake Trout in Lake Huron. Kings usually around through Labor Day. Whitefish/ herring usually start beginning July 2-3 weeks with Mayfly hatch. Walleye, pike , musky, bass as you want to pursue.
Get a slip at Detour Marina( $35 night 22' boat guestimate) for fantastic boating vacation giving you best of both worlds. Launch from nearby boat launch, (guest dock not suitable for unattended tieing off boats, large wakes and waves , boarding can be impractical due to elevated dock height, 1-2 feet, to clear waves).
