Escanaba

The Escanaba access site provides launch facilities on Little Bay de Noc, a sheltered bay area of Lake Michigan near Wells in Delta County. This location offers convenient water access for kayakers, canoeists, and larger recreational boats exploring one of Michigan's premier Great Lakes cruising and fishing destinations. The nearby Escanaba Municipal Marina, located within the scenic 120-acre Ludington Park complex, provides additional amenities including seasonal and transient boat slips if you need extended services.

Little Bay de Noc is known as an excellent cruising and fishing area, with relatively calm, protected waters compared to open Lake Michigan. The location is ideal for day trips and exploration of the Bays de Noc region, with easy access to nearby downtown Escanaba and surrounding communities. Paddlers should note that conditions can change given the Lake Michigan setting, so checking current weather and wind forecasts before launching is recommended. The area supports a range of watercraft from small kayaks to larger vessels, making it a versatile access point for various boating activities.
