The Long Lake boat launch in Ingleside provides public access to Squaw Creek in Lake County, Illinois. This facility features a concrete boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The launch area serves as a gateway to exploring the local waterway system in a relatively accessible setting for paddlers of various skill levels.
The surrounding area is characterized by private lakeside homes and wildlife habitat, offering a quieter paddling experience for those seeking calm water conditions. Motorboats are permitted on these waters with a 10 mph speed limit, making it a relatively peaceful environment for paddling activities. Before visiting, paddlers should contact local Lake County parks or recreation departments for current information on hours of operation, any applicable fees, and specific launch conditions.
