Welcome to the Blueways!

The St. Clair County Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) and the St. Clair County Parks and Recreation Commission (PARC) present the Blueways of St. Clair, a website to help you visit and enjoy the land and water trails along the St. Clair River corridor, from Anchor Bay to the northern border of the county along Lake Huron. 

Click on the 'Routes' tab, above, to access 16 different paddling routes in 9 different water bodies.  Use the 'Plan Your Trip' tab to search the database for places to camp, shop, eat or learn about our maritime history.  Use the 'Itinerary' button to add your favorite spots, then create driving directions between each point of interest! 

Click on the 'Memories Along the Blueway'grapic to post a description about your day on the water, then add a picture for the rest of us to enjoy!
