# Michigan City (US MGC)

**UN/LOCODE:** US MGC  
**Country:** United States  
**Water Body:** Lake Michigan; Great Lakes  
**Harbor Size:** Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Breakwater)  
**GPS:** 41.7333, -86.9000

Breakwaters shelter an outer harbour and inner basin at Michigan City, on the south-east shore of Lake Michigan in Indiana — not Lake Erie, as some older records state. Today the basin is given over mainly to recreational boating and fishing, served by the Washington Park and Trail Creek marinas. With a channel of about 2.4 m and usable draught near 1.5 m, commercial freight relevance is limited. Regional container and lake cargo move instead through the nearby Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor and Chicago.
