A number of the hotels off I-94 at Little Mac have outside plugs. Recently stayed at the Baymont on the East side of the highway next to IHOP. Decent rooms with outside plugs. Only a few minutes from Harley Ensign. I don't stay at the hotels much. That is my only recent experience.

Walpole license if you go anywhere inside the stakes or parts of the channels.

Proof of citizenship is strongly recommended. If you have a passport (that is one of the items they're saying you need), put it in a baggie in the boat. Don't step onto Canadian or Walpole soil. Don't attach yourself to any Canadian boats.

No alcohol. I assume that won't be an issue so I won't go into details on that.

6 flares that are not expired if your boat is 19' 8" foot or over; 3 flares for boats up to 19' 8".

Make sure you have all the Michigan Great Lakes safety equipment - http://www.boat-ed.com/mi/handbook/
