The southwestern portion of the lake shore is lined by wealthy suburbs such as the Grosse Pointe communities of Michigan and Tecumseh and Lakeshore, Ontario. In these area, public access to the lake is restricted to private marinas and residents-only parks. Further north, in Harrison Township, lies Metro Beach Metropark, a popular public beach.

Yacht clubs located along the shore include:

  • Grosse Pointe Yacht Club in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan
  • Crescent Sail Yacht Club in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan
  • Windsor Yacht Club in Windsor, Ontario

Many of North America's fresh water fish species can be found in the lake throughout the seasons. Species popular with anglers include bass, bluegill, bullhead, catfish, muskellunge, Northern Pike, perch, salmon, smelt, steelhead, sturgeon, trout, and walleye. Several invasive species also inhabit the lake, including zebra mussels and round gobies.
