Visit the Great Lakes Maritime Center at Vantage Point!

The Great Lakes Maritime Center (GLMC) offers a variety of opportunities to learn about the history and current events of the Great Lakes. A variety of video formats, displays, and speaker programs present a wide variety of information.

The Great Lakes Maritime Center at Vantage Point.

Have a fresh cup of coffee or hot chocolate with a fresh-baked donut, cup of soup, or sandwich at Coffee Harbor. Or step outside to the "Anchor Fries" French fries truck and have some delicious fries - prepared before your eyes from freshly cut potatoes.

Bring your fishing gear and try your luck in what some consider one of the best fishing spots around (but you didn't hear it here!).
 
Or, maybe buy a couple of ice cream cones from the Ice  Cream Trailer before you take your sweetie for a walk along the shoreline of the St. Clair River some cool, summer evening.
