In July 2001, Grosse Pointe Farms placed a small lit buoy to mark the city water intake. The water intake is about 1/4 mile off the Farms Park, and is reported to be 5 to 6 feet or so under water. This thing is big and unforgiving! Use caution in the area.

NEW! More useful links (rules, local buoy data, etc.)
