More than 1,000 people packed Lake Huron and the St. Clair River Sunday for Port Huron’s annual Float Down to Marysville. The unsanctioned tradition, dating back to the 1970s, drew families, friends, and even pets despite strong winds and waves. Some braved the water with kayaks, rafts, and tubes, while others watched from shore. The National Weather Service had warned of hazardous conditions, and both U.S. and Canadian coast guards advised against participating. Still, locals called the Float Down a summer highlight they hope continues for years.
