Boat Town USA
Harrison Township is a quiet, diverse lakefront community with scenic views and friendly neighbors. “Of course, everybody thinks their community is unique, but one of the big things is that we are a waterfront community,” says Township Supervisor and lifelong resident Ken Verkest. “We have the Clinton River, the spillway and L’Anse Creuse Bay, so a big portion of the township is an island. We're also home to the Selfridge Air Guard Base, which is something we're really proud of.”
Safe Harbor Belle Maer Marina in Harrison Township has a private entrance.
Harrison Township is locally known as Boat Town.

Saint Clair Metro Park and 10 marinas
“Saint Clair Metro Park is a main attraction,” says Verkest. “There’s a beautiful view of the lake. There’s also a beach, nature trails and two large marshes.” On warm summer days, people head to the park to enjoy picnics and cool off at the beach.
With 10 marinas around the township, residents don’t even need to go to the metro park to enjoy the water. “We have many marinas,” says Verkest. “People who may not live here come here regularly during the summer. Folks who like being out on their boats head here to spend weekends on the water.”

Selfridge Air National Guard Base

From manufactured to riverfront homes
There is a diverse selection of houses in this community. There are mobile home parks on the northeast side of I-94, while ranches and mid-sized new traditional homes line the roads south of the Air Guard base. Off the coast of L’Anse Creuse Bay, larger ranches and colonial revivals offer scenic views and waterfront access. Prices range from $50,000 for a manufactured home to upwards of $2 million for a new traditional waterfront property. Ranches and mid-sized new traditional homes generally range between $150,000 for a 2 bed ranch that needs some love, to upwards of $790,000 for a four-bed new build.

Riverside dining and nearby shopping
Several restaurants tempt the palate in Harrison Township, including MacRay Harbor and the Beach Grill. Bumpers Landing Waterfront Sport & Grill is a neighborhood favorite because it offers a front seat to the action, serving up tasty food with waterfront views.

Employment in this area varies because it is a boat town. In the summer there are many job opportunities, but in the winter many places shut down and employment drops. Most people here work in a field related to boats, like mechanics or working at a marina.

Harrison Twp. is a boat town, there are several restaurants that mainly all feature a boat theme. The food at theses places are fairly good. In the winter the town is not very busy. There are many marinas located here. There is really only one grocery store, Kroger, which usually has everything you need. There are very few retail shops here. You must travel to another town to go shopping.

The food and drink in this area is fantastic in the summer. There are unique places to go to, all with some sort of boat charm. There are many happy hours with great themed drinks. Many restaurants are located on the river with boat docks. Burgers are a favorite dish here.
