Boardwalk Charm

St. Clair’s boardwalk at Palmer Park is a relaxing place to unwind and have a picnic in the shade while watching freighters pass by. This historic city of tree-lined streets has an outdoor entertainment area with firepits, cozy seating, shopping and restaurants including a brewery and wine house. A short walk over the drawbridge from the boardwalk is the St. Clair Boat Harbor with a dockside campground, boat launch and kayak rentals. Paddle the slow-moving Pine River as it meanders around the city golf course on a scenic 8.4-mile trip. If you plan to arrive by boat, use the free day-dock or reserve an overnight boat slip and take advantage of the harbor shuttle to golfing, the museum and the River Crab restaurant.

St. Clair hosts a spectacular art fair, Rockin’ in the Plaza concerts, the St. Clair River Classic offshore powerboat races and Santa Parade.
