To make the lakefront more people-oriented, marine recreational development commenced in 1975 with the construction of a 228-berth marina. This marina had a capacity of 400 berths for future expansion. Durham Cruise marina offered excellent sailing and yachting facilities including a sailing school and a sea cadet training facility.
