Saginaw Bay, southwestern arm of Lake Huron in eastern Michigan, U.S. It extends southwest for 51 miles (82 km) from its entrance between Au Sable Point (northwest) and Pointe Aux Barques (southeast) to the Saginaw River at the head of the bay. Varying in width from 13 to 26 miles (21 to 42 km), the bay forms the approach to the port of Bay City, which lies 3 miles (5 km) inland on the Saginaw River. Commercial fishing and summer recreation are popular activities in the bay region.
