Free Day Parking is available at two Charlevoix downtown parking lot locations. Both lots are within a short walking distance of our dock. DeWitt Lot is located on Park Avenue just west of Bridge Street. Beach Parking Lot is located on Palmer Street and offers a beautiful walk down Pine River Channel Walkway. You are more than welcome to google Charlevoix Day Parking locations. On the day of travel, Crew members will be happy to direct to free offsite parking spot. Unfortunately, the City of Charlevoix utilizes 4-hour max parking meters at the boat dock therefore we are unable to offer parking on site.
