Lexington Harbor Port of Refuge Michigan Getaway

 Map to Lexington, MI US
Three permanent boat docks were erected by 1870 and initially lumber, then agricultural products including fruits were being shipped. The great storm  of 1913 destroyed the original docks.  Now folks enjoy the wonderful limestone breakwaters and modern marina.

Boating is still an important part of life in Lexington. The Harbor of Refuge, with it's natural limestone seawall and sturdy walkway, is hailed as one of Michigan's most beautiful.

Divers flock to Lexington Michigan to explore the Sanilac Shores Underwater Preserve. There are at least four shipwrecks to be explored in this preserve. An ameture skin or scuba diver can easily view two of them. Some of the shipwrecks with more obstructions should only be viewed by more experienced divers.
