Stayed here for two nights shortly after they closed for the season. Very small marina but nice and tidy. Even though it was out of season they still came and checked on us after we tied up. The Ketch 22 Kafe food truck is just a short walk down the road and was delicious. Jim Sloop at Arcadia Marine is next door and good for any repairs.

No trouble getting in with a 6' draft.

Arcadia is a delightful "rest & recharge" stop. It is very quiet, and there is not much in the way of commerce in this little town. But there is a wonderful beach, a nice food truck and the facilities are clean and laid back. The fuel price was $0.40 cheaper than any other I have run into from Mackinaw. Joe is the harbormaster and runs the marinea - what a terrifically nice (and interesting) guy. He returned our calls, alerted us on the day of arrival that a dredge was working the channel and took great care of us during our stay.

Half mile up a small lake, very well protected. Just a line of finger piers along the shore with both posts and cleats in typical Michigan municipal marina fashion. No town or much at all here, marginal cell service, but the marina has decent WiFi, good showers and restrooms.
