A general store, built in 1915, overlooks the river. The store is restored, and open weekends. Bed and breakfast rooms are upstairs. Riverboats of past decades were dependable local transportation, and would stop for passengers or freight if hailed from the shore.

Bay City's riverfront and buildings were utilized by Warner Bros. in filming the airplane crash scene used in the movie U.S. Marshals (1997).

Bay City is nine miles (14 km) north of the Smithland Lock and Dam.
