Located on the east side of Lake Gogebic near White City, this mid-lake access point off E Shore Road offers a convenient two-lane concrete ramp with an attached dock and gravel parking. The facility provides straightforward boat launching for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats accessing Michigan's largest inland lake.
Lake Gogebic spans 13,380 surface acres with 36 miles of shoreline and relatively gentle conditions, making it suitable for paddlers of varying skill levels. The lake averages 17.5 feet deep with a maximum depth of 38 feet. The surrounding area provides access to the Ottawa National Forest and nearby recreation opportunities. Note that if you need expanded facilities, the William C. Sterling State Park Boat Launch Ramp (located in the northeast section of the lake) offers a larger ten-lane ramp with docks and paved parking as an alternative. The lake supports year-round fishing for walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, and other species.
