Arcadia Township Veterans Memorial Marina
A small township marina on Arcadia Lake, a few blocks off M-22, with an inlet to Lake Michigan.
Arcadia Township’s Veterans Memorial Marina sits on Arcadia Lake, a few blocks off M-22, in a valley the township describes as surrounded by largely undeveloped land. An inlet links the lake with Lake Michigan.
It is a small marina with a few dozen slips, a township boat launch next door and kayak storage racks that pair with the launch at the neighboring park. For cruising boaters it is a small stop on the shore between Manistee and Frankfort. Transient bookings are handled by phone with the marina rather than online.
