# Grand Marais

**Country:** United States  
**Water Body:** Lake Superior; Great Lakes  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Breakwater)  
**GPS:** 46.6833, -85.9667

A pair of natural bays and a set of breakwaters first dredged in the 1880s make Grand Marais a sheltered harbour of refuge on Lake Superior's Michigan shore. Its role today is recreational and protective — charter fishing, small craft and seasonal tourism — rather than commercial freight. With a channel of about 3.4 m and no cargo-handling equipment, the harbour serves neither containers nor bulk nor breakbulk traffic. Shippers seeking a commercial Great Lakes port should look to Marquette, which handles ore and general cargo.
