About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities:** Located in Bay City on the Saginaw River at the intersection of the former Johnson Street, this 43-acre recreational facility offers parking lot access to the river. The site was designed with two boat launch platforms and includes handicap-accessible features, making it convenient for paddlers and boaters of varying abilities.
**Current Status & Alternatives:** Please note that the main boat ramp at this site has been closed due to damage from past flood events, though the parking lot remains open. If you're planning to launch a kayak or canoe on the Saginaw River, consider alternative access points such as the Independence Launch (also off Harry S. Truman Parkway) or Linwood Bay Marina (135 S. Linwood Beach Road, Linwood). These alternatives will provide reliable water access for your paddling trip.
