Dunbar Park in Barbeau offers public boat access to the Charlotte River in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The ramp provides a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters looking to explore this scenic waterway. The park includes amenities such as restrooms, picnic tables, and grills, making it suitable for day trips or longer outings.
When planning your visit, note that landings are closed between sunset and sunrise (except for loading/unloading boats), and boaters should avoid blocking the ramp or parking areas. The Charlotte River connects to the nearby St. Marys River system, which flows between Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and Canada, offering paddlers access to a network of waterways in the region. Check local conditions before launching, and be prepared for typical Upper Peninsula river conditions. Contact Chippewa County or local park management for current facility hours, fees, and seasonal closures.
