The Genesee access point provides convenient boat launch access to C.S. Mott Lake on the Flint River in Genesee County. This site features the Bluegill Boat Ramp with a concrete launching surface and parking lot facilities. Vehicle access is available off Coldwater Road at Center Road, with an additional entrance on Genesee Road south of Stanley Road, making it easy to locate and approach from multiple directions.
This access point is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters looking to explore C.S. Mott Lake and the surrounding Flint River Water Trail system. The 650-acre lake provides ample paddling and boating opportunity, and the established parking and ramp infrastructure makes it a reliable launch location for both day trips and longer explorations of the Thumb Area Water Trails. The site's position on the Flint River system connects paddlers to a broader network of water access points throughout Genesee and Lapeer counties.
