Is the rules of the Township set by the DNR? I am surprised that there is only one seasonal slip and it is offered on a lottery? Is it also true you cannot make a reservation at the Township dock? I recall a few years ago a large Yachting group wanted to come to the Island and they couldnâ??t make reservations and no exceptions could be made to the policy?

John: Beaver Island Municipal Dock

The Beaver Island Municipal Dock is located on Paradise Bay right in the heart of downtown St. James, just a few minutes walk from many of Beaver Island's most popular destinations. Open from May 1st until October 1st, the Municipal Dock has 25 slips, all with power and water. Bathroom, shower, and laundry facilities are available, and we are pet friendly!

Slip reservations can be made beginning from March 22nd using the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Reservation System at www.midnrreservations.com, or by calling (800) 447-2757. It is recommended to reserve a slip at least a few weeks in advance, especially during our busiest months of July and August.

For any questions or more information, contact (231) 448-2252, or send an email to harbormaster.stjamestwp.bi@gmail.com . The Beaver Island Municipal Dock also monitors marine channel 16.
