Selfridge boat launch closed for construction starting Monday, May 18

The Selfridge boat launch on Lake St Clair (Macomb County) will be closed starting Monday, May 18, for approximately two weeks for expansion of the site. Construction will include paving of the access site and of the maneuver and tie-down areas immediately in front of the ramp.

This construction has been needed for many years due to heavy use of the boat launch. The site expansion will accommodate the larger cards, trucks and boats that have been introduced since the original boating access site design. Construction work also will include upgrades to improve storm-water management, traffic flows and universal accessibility. The Selfridge boating access site is expected to reopen by mid-June.

While the Selfridge boat launch is under construction, boaters will be redirected to the Harley Ensign Memorial boating access site, located at the far eastern end of South River Road in Harrison Township (32995 S. River Rd., Harrison Twp, MI 48045).

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is committed to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of the state’s natural and cultural resources for current and future generations. For more information, go to www.michigan.gov/dnr.
