The Water

What separates Harrison Township from every other community on Lake St. Clair is the quality and depth of its canal infrastructure. Harrison Township features miles of wide, deep-water canals with direct, unobstructed access to Lake St. Clair — no low bridges, no shallow bottoms, no restrictions on boat size. You can keep a 30-foot-plus vessel in your backyard and be on open water in under five minutes. For serious boaters, this is the single most important factor in a waterfront purchase — and it is where Harrison Township consistently outperforms every alternative on the lake.

Direct lakefront homes on Huron Pointe Drive and Lakeshore Drive offer panoramic open-water views, deep lots with private docks, and some of the most dramatic sunrises in Southeast Michigan, with the Canadian shoreline visible across the water on clear days.

The Community

Harrison Township is a working waterfront community — unpretentious, family-friendly, and deeply connected to life on the lake. Residents have direct access to marinas including Jefferson Beach Marina, one of the largest full-service marinas in the Midwest, as well as Metropark's lakefront recreational facilities, boat launches, and miles of waterfront trail. Waterfront dining, bait shops, and a strong boating culture define the character of the community.

Freeway access via I-94 and M-59 puts Harrison Township within 30–45 minutes of Downtown Detroit, Metro Detroit's major employment corridors, and Detroit Metropolitan Airport — making it a practical choice for buyers who want waterfront living without sacrificing convenience.
