Sold to the Township in 1975, the site is located along West Main Street in Harvey. After additional donations, the site increased to 3.6 acres, including land across the lagoon of about 1.9 acres. The marina is situated on the Chocolay River approximately 1,500 feet from Lake Superior, and is located in a residential neighborhood. The marina provides kayak, canoe, and motorized boat access to the Chocolay River and to Lake Superior. However, the river mouth is often too shallow to permit easy access to Lake Superior, resulting in limited public use for motorized craft. A Hiawatha Water Trail Access Site was established at this location during the summer of 2006. It is a community park, natural resource area, and serves water trail users and boating enthusiasts.
