Henry Sears Park provides convenient boat access to Birch Lake in Vandalia, located at the intersection of Birch Road and Lake Shore Drive on the lake's south side. The site features a well-maintained concrete boat launch with a wide ramp capable of accommodating multiple boats simultaneously, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and larger watercraft. A paved parking lot is available, though parking is limited.
The facility is maintained by the Cass County Parks and Recreation Department and operates from sunrise to sunset (or 10 p.m., whichever is earlier). Note that there are no restroom facilities on-site, so plan accordingly. The access point is straightforward and provides easy entry to Birch Lake, making it an accessible option for recreational paddling and boating in the area.
