Elk Rapids Marina

Elk Rapids Marina, located at 115 Bridge Street in Elk Rapids, MI, offers excellent public boat launch access to both Elk Lake and Grand Traverse Bay. The facility features a 4-lane launch ramp on Grand Traverse Bay and a 2-lane ramp on Elk Lake, making it well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and trailerable powerboats. The marina is nestled in the scenic, quaint port-side village of Elk Rapids along the western shores of Elk Lake in Northern Michigan's famous Chain O' Lakes region.

The facility provides convenient amenities for boaters, including transient slips, pump-out services, and a marine store. On-site engine and hull repair services are available, along with a restaurant nearby. This makes Elk Rapids Marina an ideal hub for launching extended paddling adventures into Elk Lake or accessing the larger waters of East Grand Traverse Bay. The dual-ramp setup accommodates multiple launching parties, reducing congestion during peak times.
