About This Access Site
Lily Bay Park is a fair-weather boat launch located on Lake Michigan in Sturgeon Bay, Door County, offering direct access to the water via a 12-foot-wide concrete ramp. The site sits on approximately one acre of land and includes a small sandy beach area north of the launch lanes, with limited parking available. This is an ideal spot for early-morning or late-afternoon paddling, particularly for those seeking quick access to nearby bank reef areas.

**Conditions & Considerations:** Paddlers should avoid launching during east winds, and larger boats need to be cautious of shallow waters in the immediate launch area. Lake Michigan users should be aware of aquatic invasive species present in the water, including Eurasian water-milfoil, round goby, and zebra mussels. The park's fair-weather classification means conditions can change significantly with weather and seasonal water levels, so plan accordingly and check current conditions before visiting.
