McKinley Marina
McKinley Marina is Milwaukee County's only public lakefront marina, sitting right on Lake Michigan at 1750 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr. with 655 slips on floating docks. You get the full setup here — electricity, water, security, and parking — plus easy access to the city's lakefront parks and downtown Milwaukee just minutes away. It's a solid base if you want urban amenities without sacrificing that open-water feel.
