Directions:

I-94 North:

  • Take the Metro Parkway exit
  • Turn right onto Metro Parkway (heading East)
  • Turn right on Jefferson Ave

I-94 South:

  • Take the Metro Parkway exit

Sailing Notes:

When sailing out of Gino's, sailors are advised to avoid the ice to the South of the launch, and use caution sailing offshore. There is a river inlet 1/2 mile to the South (you can see a large rock jetty at the opening).

This is a large body of water (Lake St. Clair is 25 miles across) and ice breakers keep a channel open to the East all winter. Keep a weather eye open, and avoid sailing in strong offshore (North or West) winds. There have been many icefisherman airlifted from Lake St. Clair when the wind shifted offshore and the hut-boys didn't notice the change in wind direction.
