Coast Guard Sets Summer No-Go Zones for Detroit-Area Boaters

## Summary

The Coast Guard is setting special rules for boaters during three big water events in Detroit and St. Clair this summer and early fall 2026. On July 10, July 26, and September 6, certain areas will be off-limits or controlled to keep everyone safe. If you want to enter these zones during the events, you’ll need permission and must follow Coast Guard instructions—no surprises, just smooth sailing!
