Round Lake Marina at Charlevoix

A Sheltered Harbor on Round Lake

Round Lake is a small, naturally protected basin that forms the centerpiece of Charlevoix's waterfront. Ringed by docks, marinas, and the town's downtown shops, it offers calm water where pleasure craft of every kind gather, from compact day cruisers to impressive motor yachts.

Gateway to Lake Michigan

A short navigable channel links Round Lake to the open expanse of Lake Michigan, with a connection to Lake Charlevoix on the opposite side. This makes the harbor a natural staging point for vessels exploring the northern Michigan coastline and the broader Great Lakes.

The Charlevoix Waterfront

The town of Charlevoix wraps closely around the lake, its tree-lined shores dotted with distinctive homes, boathouses, and the iconic mushroom-roofed cottages the area is known for. The setting captures the relaxed rhythm of a classic Great Lakes resort community.

A Boating Crossroads

From sailboats raising canvas to motor yachts easing into their slips, the marina stays active with maritime traffic. The camera frames an ever-changing tableau of boats, water, and sky that makes Round Lake one of the most picturesque small harbors in the region.
