How far up are you going? Depending on your final destination and time frame Belfours at the north end of Lake St. Clair on the North Channel is my go to spot. Filled up there yesterday $3.60 gallon (Non-Ethanol). With the water levels so high this year it is only convenient if you are going past it. A lot of No Wake Zone if going on to the St. Clair River. If you are going to need fuel sooner than the North end my pick would be Jefferson Beach in St. Clair Shores. I don't know enough about fuel stops on the river to give you any incite on them. I always fuel on the lake before heading down your way. Have a safe ride and let me know if there is anything that I can help you with on Lake St. Clair.

When I make the trip from Erie from Catawba I always stop at Kean's for fuel.

North of Detroit but not quite into lake St. Clair.

I was going to say Kean’s too. Hang a left when you pass belle isle heading north.

Yep, Kean's, but note that the area between Belle Isle and the Detroit shoreline is no-wake.

Also be aware of current as you maneuver into the marina basin - it can catch you by surprise.
