Lake Mary Park

Lake Mary Park is a Dickinson County-owned public boat launch located in Vulcan, Michigan, providing access to the 255-acre Lake Mary—one of the lakes in the scenic Hamilton Chain of Lakes system. The park offers a dedicated public boat landing suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats, making it a convenient starting point for paddlers exploring this lake chain. The facility includes additional amenities such as a swimming beach, picnic area, and playground, making it a good option for full-day outings.

When visiting, remember to clean and inspect your boat before launching to help prevent the spread of invasive species—an important step for protecting Michigan's waterways. Avoid power loading your boat onto the ramp to prevent damage. The park operates seasonally with varying hours depending on the time of year, so it's recommended to check ahead for current operating hours and any specific regulations. With its multiple amenities and strategic location on the Hamilton Chain of Lakes, Lake Mary Park serves as an excellent access point for exploring the interconnected lake system in the Upper Peninsula.
