About This Access Site
The Frankfort Municipal Marina offers a modern boat ramp for easy water access on Betsie Lake in downtown Frankfort. Located at 912 Main Street, this facility provides a well-maintained launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Access requires a launch pass: seasonal passes are $35 for Frankfort residents and $70 for non-residents, with daily passes available for $15.

**Important notes for visitors:** There is no overnight camping permitted in the marina or parking areas. However, Platte River Campground, a reservable facility, is located within 10 miles and offers camping nearby. For boating emergencies, contact the US Coast Guard Station Frankfort at (231) 352-4242. Betsie Lake is a scenic inland lake that provides calm water conditions suitable for paddlers of all skill levels.
