Frankfort Harbor

Location: Lake Michigan
Lat / Lon: N 44° 37.865' / W 086° 14.150'
Depth: 10 feet
Description:
We stayed overnight in the anchorage right off of the fuel dock at the Municipal Marina. 12' of water, anchor set immediately in a mud/sand bottom. Several other boats in this designated anchorage. You'll see the rectangular anchorage area on your charts. It's nice to be close to town. Several restaurants and lots of shops. Busy resort town. Lake Michigan beach (this means beautiful sand). The fisherman were pretty good about keeping to the no wake designation of the entire lake. This was calmer than our dock in Holland on Lake Macatawa. Dinghy dock a walk from downtown but the exercise was good. Nice paved walkway in a grassy park along the waterfront. Wi-Fi is available all through town and works in the anchorage as well. It wasn't windy when we were here. The lake is small so unless it really blows hard from the west It would seem like a good spot.
