Lakeview Park Marina on Windsor's east side is the city's main public launch onto Lake St. Clair, with the Windsor Yacht Club anchoring the local sailing scene off the same shoreline.
The Detroit River runs an active international shipping channel between Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie; recreational motor-boating threads marked navigation channels alongside commercial traffic, with Peche Island providing an island-park destination at the river mouth.
