The Long Lake access site in Portage (Kalamazoo County) provides a public boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. This DNR-managed access point features a concrete ramp suitable for launching small to medium-sized watercraft. The site offers parking for vehicles and trailers, making it convenient for day trips on Long Lake.
Long Lake is a popular destination for paddling and fishing in the Kalamazoo area. The ramp provides straightforward water access without reported launch fees. Paddlers should verify current conditions and any seasonal access changes by contacting the Michigan DNR or visiting their website before your visit. The site is best suited for day-use recreation on the lake itself rather than as a starting point for river travel.
