Interactive Lake St. Clair Chart - Great lakes Area

[Sea Ray 215]

I tried to find if this has been posted before and could not find it....not saying it wasn't just that I could not find it. Anyway.....came across this today. It is an interactive chart of Lake St. Clair.....here are some of the things you can do with it. You can zoom in and out, just by clicking mouse or there is a slider at the top, pan up, down, left and right, shows depths, marina's, restuarants, boat clubs, destinations and fishing holes. You can view it as a chart or satellite view. As you move across the chart it also shows GPS cordinates, not sure how accurate they are though. As you zoom in you get more detailed information....pretty cool....enjoy.

In all the years I have been boating on Lake St. Clair I never personally landed in Canada, but would like to. Here are two links that I found. I will have to read them myself.... I do know you have to have a holding tank for sewage if you have facilities, portable toilets are illegal in Canadian waters.

hmmmm looks familiar ;D might want to use this one just since it's the official NOAA chart and will likely be a better source for up to date info

All,

Going to Canada is easy. You just call 1-800-Can-Pass. And the friendly courteous people ask you a few questions, and give you a customs number to display at your dock. Coming back to the US is the *****. You have a couple of choices. First, get a Nexus card and call in following the directions when you land. Make sure you have a customs sticker. Two, I beleive they still are issuing I-68 forms. Same as Nexus but only for one year instead of 5. Three, land at a Coast Guard authorized call in station. Then, get treated like a third world drug smuggler that is guilty until proven innocent.

Nice link SR215. We are just setting out to plan a trip back up to LSC and this certainly helps with that! Thanks

Sea Ray 215,

Try the link below, it has the same features as the site you found but, more detailed info regarding the anchorages, marinas and restaurants. You'll have to set up a free account though. Once you zoom in close enough it'll start to show the various locations you can visit along with info regarding navigational hazards to watch out for. Just another resource to use.
