Located in Armstrong, Emmet County, this public access point on 802-acre Iowa Lake offers a hard surface boat ramp ideal for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The facility features a boat dock in addition to the ramp, providing convenient access to the water. This is a well-developed site with amenities including a 16-acre campground with 10 primitive camping sites, picnic tables, grills, water hydrants, and a fish cleaning station—making it suitable for day trips or overnight outings.
Iowa Lake supports a healthy fishery with northern pike, black crappie, black bullhead, and yellow perch, so the area attracts both anglers and recreational paddlers. The campground also includes hiking trails for those looking to explore beyond the water.
