Welcome to Elmwood
Township Marina
Tucked into the northwest corner of Michigan's Lower Peninsula — true Up North country — Elmwood has quietly become one of the most talked-about marinas and public boat launches on Grand Traverse Bay. Freshly made over and just minutes from downtown Traverse City, it sits right on the sparkling West Arm at the gateway to Leelanau County. Come spend your summer on the water with us.

Grand Traverse Bay & the Boardman River
The bay serves as the meeting point for these two famous fisheries. When they come together, they're an unstoppable force of incredible angling action. Grand Traverse Bay is bustling with some of the world's most prized freshwater game fish, and the Boardman River bears witness to salmon and steelhead runs. It's a real angler's paradise.
