Directions:

I-94 North:

  • Take the Metro Parkway exit
  • Turn right onto Metro Parkway (heading East)
  • Turn right after entering park (follow signs to the Jet Ski launch)

I-94 South:

  • Take the Metro Parkway exit
  • Turn left onto Metro Parkway (heading East)
  • Turn right after entering park (follow signs to the Jet Ski launch)

Sailing Notes:

When sailing out of Metro Beach, sailors are advised to sail to the South and West (right) of the launch, and avoid the ice to the East of the launch site.

Also keep in mind that 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.
