Ludington Park

Ludington Park offers convenient public access to Little Bay de Noc on Lake Michigan's western shore in Escanaba. The facility features four docks with eight launching ramps suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. This is a well-developed access point with amenities including restroom facilities, fish cleaning stations, and dedicated vehicle and trailer parking.

The site is part of Escanaba's 120-acre Ludington Park complex and sits within the municipal marina area, making it a reliable option for paddlers launching onto Little Bay de Noc. The protected bay setting provides relatively calmer conditions compared to open Lake Michigan, making it suitable for various skill levels. Whether you're planning a day paddle on the bay or using it as a departure point for exploring the broader shoreline, Ludington Park provides the infrastructure and services needed for a comfortable outing.
