Description
Brower Park Marina sits on Hardy Dam Pond at 23056 Polk Road in Stanwood, giving boaters direct access to 18 miles of navigable water along the Muskegon River's backwaters. The marina functions as the boating access point for the larger Brower Park county park, with launch access available on both the north and south shorelines of the pond. A fishing pier sits near the launch for anglers who want to cast a line without putting a boat in the water, and a fish cleaning station nearby makes it easy to process a catch before heading home. The marina connects directly to Michigan's Dragon, a natural-surface trail that circles Hardy Pond for hikers and bikers looking to explore beyond the water itself. Boaters exploring Hardy Pond can combine a stop here with the rest of Brower Park's amenities, including camping, swimming, and picnic areas, since the marina sits inside the same county park property. Visitors launching larger boats should note that Hardy Pond connects to a broader stretch of the Muskegon River system, giving experienced boaters room to explore well beyond the marina itself. The boat launch and day-use area stay open year-round, even during months when the campground itself is closed for the season.
