The diesel on 26 July was $4.38/gallon. From Marquette Harbor the entrance to the marina is sharp right then a sharp left which positions you at the fuel dock. The water depth in the marina was between 10ft to 11ft. This marina is one of the best marina layouts and facilities of the Michigan DNR system that I have visited. The site is well maintained, clean, and convenient to downtown Marquette. The marina is tucked into higher ground which provides protection except for SE weather. The city of Marquette is inviting and walkable. I stayed three nights.

This is a great marina. Staff are top notch. The restrooms and and showers are the nicest and cleanest that I have ever seen at a marina!!! The marina also has a nice boaters lounge and laundry facilities. A short walk to downtown. Wednesday night there is a farmers market on the main street. This is a great place to stop.

Very clean facilities. This was our first trip to Marquette by boat. Love the city, of course, and the marina was comfortable, friendly and easy to access.

Cinder Pond Marina located on the beautiful downtown waterfront in Marquette, is our favorite marina in Michigan on Lake Superior! The facilities are first class, very clean and secure. The marina staff has an awesome manager and staff. Many nearby good restaurants, excellent biking and walking trails,clean well kept parks and the city make Cinder Pond Marina a must stop. The only reason I rated this 4 versus 5 is there are no mechanical services on site. For us that has never been a reason to not stop. We look forward to our next multi days stay!
