**Location & Access:** Located in Omena (Northport area), Leelanau County, approximately 25 miles north of Traverse City on Grand Traverse Bay. The facility offers a boat launching ramp as part of a full-service marina and RV park along the scenic North Shore Drive.
**Facilities & Considerations:** This is a developed access point with marina services, including a boat ramp suitable for motorboats and larger vessels. Note that the launch may experience seasonal closures during peak summer months (historically June-August) to manage parking and congestion. During these periods, boaters are directed to alternative launches such as North Park. The site includes beach access and RV facilities. Contact the marina directly at 231-620-2402 or 231-386-5326 for current conditions, hours, fees, and any seasonal restrictions before your trip.
**For Kayakers & Canoeists:** While primarily designed for larger boats, small craft paddlers can use this access point to reach Grand Traverse Bay's protected waters and scenic northern shoreline. Check current conditions and any access policies with the marina before launching.
