Bues Point Ramp

Blues Point offers a public boat ramp access to Lake Michigan's Moonlight Bay near Baileys Harbor in Door County. This launch site provides a convenient entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the protected waters of Moonlight Bay and venture into Lake Michigan. The ramp is suitable for a variety of watercraft and water-based recreation.

From Blues Point, paddlers can explore nearby attractions including Gravel Island National Wildlife Refuge, which comprises Gravel Island (4 acres) and Spider Island (23 acres) located in Lake Michigan. These islands offer scenic paddling destinations for experienced kayakers and boaters. Given the Lake Michigan location, paddlers should be prepared for variable wind and wave conditions typical of larger Great Lakes water bodies. Check current wind and water conditions before launching, and ensure you have appropriate safety equipment for open water paddling.
