 The comfortably furnished Duncan Bay Boat Club clubhouse is an elegant log structure crafted from native Northern White Cedar.  When the weather turns foul, a large stone fireplace offers a snug spot to remove the chill. Private bathroom suites are self contained, each with a shower, sink and toilet.  Outside the clubhouse, an expansive patio and heated pool are available for those hot summer days.  The marina has convenient picnic areas with tables and gas grills. For nighttime campfires, there is a fire-pit on the sandy shore of Duncan Bay.Laundry facilities are available in the clubhouse and ice is available from the harbormaster.
Outside the marina, Duncan Bay provides protection from most winds and has a good sand bottom for holding. Avoid the shallow water on the west side of the bay. Cheboygan State Park occupies 932 acres on the east half of Duncan Bay. A short dingy ride offers boaters one of the nicest sand beaches anywhere. In addition to a marked swimming area, there is plenty of shoreline for a scenic walk along the water. The park has a campground with 78 campsites.
