Algonac

The landscape around Algonac is a low, flat riverfront on the St. Clair River, which has shaped both the town’s layout and local economy. The river forms the international boundary with Ontario and carries water from Lake Huron toward Lake St. Clair, giving Algonac a distinctly maritime character despite its inland position. Boatbuilding is central to its story: Christopher Columbus Smith began building boats here in 1874, laying foundations for the Chris-Craft brand. The riverfront remains associated with boating, fishing and cross-border traffic, while Algonac State Park preserves shoreline and wetlands north of town.
