I was in Eagle Harbor a bit over a week ago. The City has completely cleaned up the harbor. Now there are city owned mooring balls that they rent out. No anchoring within the mooring field that takes up most of the harbor. Gone are the derelicts and questionable liveaboards that used to fill up the place. The derelicts were removed and most of the liveaboards eventually moved their floating shacks. There were a few holdouts, and those were eventually evicted by armed city police, DNR agents, and state police according to the manager at Harbor Marina.

The city does have a linear moorage off the city park and there is a dinghy dock at the park. The linear moorage can be used for free but I am not sure for how long nor of the level of enforcement.
