Brandenburg Park is a 129-acre waterfront park situated directly on the shores of Anchor Bay in Lake St. Clair. The facility features a 500-foot sandy beach area and an accessible fishing pier. Visitors have access to paved walking trails that wind through both wooded sections and open parkland. Recreational infrastructure includes basketball courts, sand volleyball pits, and multiple children's playgrounds. The park provides dedicated boat launch ramps for motorized watercraft and jet skis. Picnic pavilions equipped with charcoal grills are available for public use throughout the grounds. Natural wetlands are preserved within the site, offering birdwatching opportunities for local migratory species. The waterfront area is characterized by its wide, unobstructed views of the bay.
The end of the fishing pier provides a panoramic view of the Anchor Bay horizon.
Bring water shoes if planning to enter the lake, as the bottom can be rocky in some zones.
Visit during the shoulder seasons to avoid high traffic volumes at the boat launch area.
Pack insect repellent if exploring the wooded trails during summer months.
Do not attempt to swim in the boat launch lanes, as high traffic from motorized vessels presents a significant safety risk.
Beach areas and boat launches are subject to seasonal operation, typically closing for winter.
Alcohol, glass containers, and littering are strictly prohibited; dogs must remain leashed in non-designated areas.
