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.”
