The location is situated near the university’s campus, providing a central point for rowing activities in the Upper Peninsula. The facility is equipped for rowing-specific use, with docks designed to accommodate boats and equipment. It includes basic amenities such as restrooms and wheelchair-accessible parking, ensuring accessibility for visitors. While specific hours of operation are not provided, the docks are typically used during daylight hours for team practices and events. The space is functional rather than recreational, catering primarily to organized rowing activities.
