Located in Grindstone City along Lake Huron in Port Austin, this public DNR boat launch provides direct access to Michigan's largest Great Lake. The facility features a hard surface ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and larger recreational boats. A state park or boat launch sticker is required for use. The park offers a pleasant setting with amenities and is within walking distance of local shops, dining, and beach areas.
This access point is ideal for paddlers looking to explore Lake Huron's coastal waters. The park environment makes it convenient for day-use boating, and the nearby marina and services provide support for extended trips. Given Lake Huron's size and open-water conditions, paddlers should be prepared with appropriate safety equipment and be mindful of weather and water conditions typical of the Great Lakes.
