The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Lakeshore Museum created a three-quarter mile Muskegon Maritime Heritage Walkway along the Muskegon channel with signage that educates the public about Muskegon maritime issues and history.  Thousands of visitors and residents each week walk along the south wall of the Muskegon Channel. From the modern freighters entering Muskegon Lake, to the two Muskegon lighthouses, NOAA Field Station, USS Silversides Submarine Museum and the historic U.S. Coast Guard Station, there's plenty to see at the Muskegon Harbor.  The pathway interprets local history and more than 100 years of federal government development and operations in the harbor area.
