St. Clair River

From Lake Huron this river flows to the St. Clair Flats delta and into Lake St. Clair. The St. Clair river is full of maritime interest, from the sailing ships of the 1800's to the Rum Runners of prohibition to the monstrous ships of today. Many ships, both foreign and domestic, travel through this waterway making it one of the heaviest traveled in the world. The river has a total outflow length of 27 miles. There are many parks and boardwalks along the river shoreline where you can view these vessels. If you are unfamiliar with these vessels? Here are a few ways to tell if one is foreign or domestic: the domestic lake vessels (750 to 1,000 feet) are much longer than the foreign vessels. Foreign vessels fly the flag of their own country as well as the flag of the country they are visiting.
