The Long Lake boat ramp in Colon (St. Joseph County) provides public access to Long Lake via a concrete launch facility. This access site is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters looking to explore the lake. The ramp accommodates standard boat trailers, and parking is available for vehicles and trailers at the site.
Long Lake is a popular destination for paddling and fishing in southwest Michigan. Before visiting, check current conditions and water levels, as these can affect launch ease and paddling safety. Paddlers should note water depth and any hazards specific to the lake. As with all Michigan DNR access sites, arrive during daylight hours and be prepared for changing weather conditions on open water.
