Located in Traverse City on the West Arm of Grand Traverse Bay, the Grand Traverse Yacht Club offers a hard-surface boat ramp suitable for all trailerable watercraft. The ramp maintains adequate water depth (2.5-3 feet minimum at 20 feet from shore) for reliable launching in most conditions. Parking is available on-site to accommodate vehicles and trailers.
**Important Note:** The launch ramp is restricted to active club members only. However, if you're a member, you'll have access to well-maintained facilities and a scenic waterfront setting. For non-members seeking public access to this area, the West Arm has other public launching options nearby between Traverse City and Suttons Bay off M-22. Contact the club directly for membership information or clarification on guest access policies.
