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.”

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

Harrison Township is also proud to be home to the Selfridge Air National Guard Base, one of the oldest continuously operating military airfields in the nation. The base takes up almost half of the township’s land and is located on its north side. It is the only US installation that houses Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection personnel. Along with the Selfridge Military Air Museum, which is open to the public, the base hosts an annual Air Show and STEAM EXPO every summer.

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. For grocery needs, residents can head over to the Kroger on Crocker Boulevard or visit nearby townships and cities to shop.

For everyday essentials, they head to nearby cities like Clinton Township, which offers a Walmart and The Mall at Partridge Creek. And Sterling Heights features several shopping centers, including Lakeside Mall, while Mount Clemons offers a walkable downtown district. “We don’t have an established downtown, but we’re fortunate to be right next to Mount Clemons, which is very bikeable and walkable. You can always visit our neighbors for the downtown experience,” says Verkest.

I-94 and 16 Mile

Harrison Township is driver-centric, so most residents own at least one car. I-94 and 16 Mile are the main points of transport in this township. While it is not very walkable, several bike lanes connect riders to nearby cities.

Flood risks

With waterfront access comes concerns for flooding. Mortgage companies require flood insurance in this township, and premiums are slightly higher than those in landlocked cities.
