Elk Rapids Marina is dedicated to our Elk Rapids community. We have partnered with organizations that help young men and women develop their futures.
Elk Rapids Marina recognizes the importance of skilled trades. We support the vision of the Great Lakes Boat Building School (GLBBS) which offers men and women the opportunity to pursue a variety of careers in the marine industry. In 2020, our belief in the school's mission led us to create an annual Marine Mechanic Scholarship for new students along with a flexible internship program for all GLBBS students. If you would like additional information on either of these programs, contact Sue Cotten (sue.cotten@glbbs.edu) or call GLBBS at (906) 484-1081. Click the logo to view our informational PDF.

Elk Lake Skegemog Lakes Association’s focus is on protecting the environment, monitoring development, tracking water quality, and following trends in boating, fishing, and other uses of our lakes.

As the waters of ESLA become more popular and more crowded with increased boat traffic and shoreline development, a watchful eye must be kept to protect our environment.
