Marina Shores is great other than the dust if there is an east wind.
New Buffalo is between Mich City and Saint Joe. Its a great town too.

Thought about that also but still have to drive thru the city either 355 or 294 both could be tough.If you live in central IL, what's the drive time up to Winthrop Harbor/Kenosha? Might be better than fighting the 80/90 trafffic.
I will be moving up in May of 2020. I have called several marinas and this may not be so simple. Waiting list!Depending on how quickly you would like to pull the trigger, I might be able to find a place in New Buffalo for you.
Unless you hit rush hour both 355/294 aren't usually that bad as compared to 80/94. If the mileage isn't too different, it might be worth looking into. You can run some google/map/traffic inquiries at the times you think you'll be driving to see what it is like. Plenty of slips in Winthrop Harbor, and they'll give you discounts as a new "resident."Thought about that also but still have to drive thru the city either 355 or 294 both could be tough.
Also you could explore taking I-39 straight up towards Rockford from Bloomington and cutting over to avoid the Chicago traffic.Unless you hit rush hour both 355/294 aren't usually that bad as compared to 80/94.

From I-39 & I-90 it is about 90 minutes to Winthrop Harbor. I travel it every Friday from my office. Not Interstate but mostly back roads and little traffic.View attachment 74850 i live in central Illinois and am looking for recommendations for which marina you all prefer. I cut across 80 so Michigan City is only 3 1/2 drive to get to. Any suggestions on where to dock next spring? It’s going to take some doing to get it out of Missouri so I’m starting now. Got to beat the lock closures. I am going up soon to look around again and make the calls but looking for input. I am going to hate losing the cover though.
