Long Lake

The Long Lake boat ramp in Orleans provides public access to Long Lake via a concrete launch facility. This DNR access site is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters looking to explore the lake. The concrete ramp accommodates multiple launching vessels, and the site includes parking for vehicles and trailers, making it convenient for day-use recreation.

Long Lake offers a calm-water paddling environment ideal for canoes and kayaks. Before visiting, paddlers should check current conditions and water levels, particularly during spring snowmelt or after heavy rainfall. The site is free to use, though visiting during off-peak hours may provide a more peaceful experience. For up-to-date information on amenities, access conditions, or any seasonal restrictions, contact the Michigan DNR or check their website prior to your visit.
