Ironton

The Ironton Public Boat Launch is a well-developed access point located just north of the Ironton Ferry on the west side of the Lake Charlevoix narrows. This popular ramp features two loading docks with a four-lane concrete ramp, ample parking, and vault toilet facilities—making it convenient for kayakers, canoeists, and larger boats alike. The site's proximity to Veterans Park and nearby restaurants and fuel stations adds to its appeal for day-trippers and those planning longer outings.

This launch is ideally positioned for exploring Lake Charlevoix's South Arm and the narrows area. The wide ramp and dedicated loading docks make it easy to launch and retrieve both small paddlecraft and motorboats. Whether you're heading out for a casual paddle or a full day on the water, Ironton provides the infrastructure and services needed to start your adventure comfortably.
