About This Access Site
Located on Grass Lake Road in Antioch between Fox Lake and Antioch, Grass Lake Marina offers convenient access to the Nippersink Lake-Fox River system. The facility features one of the better launch ramps in the Chain O' Lakes area, with over 40 feet of gentle slope ideal for launching kayaks, canoes, and small boats into a no-wake channel. This makes it an excellent choice for paddlers looking for a well-maintained ramp without steep approaches.

The marina's location on the Ackerman Channel—which connects Fox Lake and Nippersink Lake—provides paddlers access to the broader Chain O' Lakes system. With supplies and services available nearby in both Antioch and Fox Lake, this is a practical base for exploring the connected waterways. The facility also includes an RV park, making it suitable for those planning extended trips in the area.
