Lake Ellen Campground provides public boat access to this 75.5-acre lake located near Kiernan in Iron County's Upper Peninsula. The boat ramp is situated at the west end of the lake and is accessible via a single-lane gravel road. This access point serves paddlers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the lake's calm waters.
The campground setting offers a scenic launching location with nearby camping facilities if you're planning an extended visit. Note that access roads are gravel and single-lane, so arrive early during peak seasons to secure parking. The lake's modest size makes it suitable for recreational paddling and small boat operations. Contact Iron County or the Michigan DNR for current conditions, parking details, and any seasonal closures that may affect access.
