Nestled in a protective cove next to the Hardy Dam, the Marina offers access to 17 miles of open waterway, with miles of undeveloped shoreline. The Marina currently offers 35 boat slips with seasonal slips available. It also houses one of the best daily boat launches on Hardy Pond. The Marina also offers potable water, vault restrooms, and a pump-out service. Hardy Marina also has two parking lots on the South side of the road, which is a trailhead for Michigan's Dragon at Hardy Dam and The Hardy Dam Rustic Trail. Vehicle permits are required in all Marina parking lots.
Seasonal boat slips are available through a waiting list system. Due to high demand, we start a new waiting list every year. To be added to the list, you must contact the Marina Manager after the Marina opens for the season. To be added to the waiting list for a seasonal boat slip for 2024, please contact Hardy Marina on or after May 26, 2023.
