Maritime Experience

The maritime charm of waterways, drawbridges, boat tours and sky-lined masts at the yacht club are part of the unforgettable experience in Downtown Port Huron. There’s an abundance of things to do within a 3-mile radius whether you arrive by boat, car or train.

The growing downtown district has been attracting new and exciting shops, restaurants and events. Take a sight-seeing tour by water on the Huron Lady II, by land on the Blue Water Transit or Port Huron Museum trollies. Walkable from downtown, hear a live narrative about ships at the Great Lakes Maritime Center and take a stroll on the Blue Water River Walk to see art sculptures, freshwater reefs and wetlands.

Take a short drive along the water from downtown north to the Huron Lightship Museum, Thomas Edison Depot and beaches. While there, climb Michigan’s oldest working lighthouse for an incredible panoramic view of the Blue Water Bridges, Canada and Lake Huron.

Annual events are the Bayview Port Huron to Mackinac Sailboat Race, SandFest, Art Hop, Prowlers & Silver Stick Hockey and events at the Blue Water Convention Center and McMorran Place.
