The Starboard just became available for next weekend due to a customer’s unfortunate boat mishap. If you’re looking for a place to stay next weekend on Lake St Clair give me a call.

Interesting facts about the fabulous Lake St Clair!

The St. Clair River Delta is a rare example of a delta that gathers itself back into a single river.

Most deltas are the end of a river’s story.

The St. Clair Delta is different. It is a "through-flow" delta sitting in the middle of a 90-mile hydraulic corridor connecting Lake Huron to Lake Erie.

At the northern end of Lake St. Clair, the river looks normal. It has textbook "bird's foot" geometry. This is where the sediment from Lake Huron has settled into the shallow basin for thousands of years.

But at the southern end of the lake, the geometry is an anomaly.

The water doesn't stay spread out. Unlike other inland deltas, the entire volume from the upper Great Lakes (120 billion gallons per day) funnels back together into the relatively narrow channel of the Detroit River.

The delta slows the water down just enough for the silt to settle. Then, the landscape narrows and the water accelerates again.

Most deltas are the end of the line. This one turns into a funnel.
