Navigating Lake St. Clair

Lake St. Clair, MI is a lake in Michigan, and this page collects what Navi Wake knows about navigating it. The lake is charted for routing, which means Navi Wake can plan a path across open water that stays off the land and follows the channel instead of drawing a straight line through a peninsula.

We hold 1,962 charted navigation aids on Lake St. Clair. That breaks down into 307 channel markers, 1,340 marked hazards, 221 lights, and 94 special-purpose markers. We also chart 53 public boat ramps and 162 marinas on the shoreline, mapped separately from the aids above. Depth coverage comes from 6,563 surveyed soundings and 1,262 depth contours, which is what lets the chart shade the shallows.
