About This Access Site
Located at Fisherman's Paradise Road in Bellaire, this developed boat launch provides convenient access to Lake Bellaire. The site features a concrete boat ramp, dock, trailer parking, and parking facilities, along with restrooms—making it a well-equipped option for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters.

From this launch, paddlers can explore the lake's waters and potentially access connecting waterways like Grass River, which links Bellaire Lake to Clam Lake. The developed facilities and dock make this an ideal starting point for both day trips and longer paddles through the local water trail system.
