The Frankfort Municipal Marina is on Betsie Lake at 606 Main Street in Frankfort, according to the Michigan DNR’s harbor map, which includes it in the state’s network of public harbors.
The marina handles its own bookings rather than using the state reservation system, so boaters should check the City of Frankfort’s marina page for current transient availability before planning a stop.
