Maplehurst Natural Area offers public access to Torch Lake in rural Antrim County near Kewadin. This access point serves paddlers and non-motorized boaters looking to explore one of Michigan's larger lakes. The natural area itself features scenic surroundings with rugged terrain and is worth exploring if you have time before or after your time on the water.
Torch Lake is a popular destination for kayaking and canoeing, offering opportunities for both casual paddling and exploration. The lake is substantial enough to accommodate various water activities, though paddlers should be prepared for the conditions typical of larger Michigan lakes. The Maplehurst location provides a convenient launching point for accessing the lake's waters in a relatively undeveloped area.
Before visiting, contact local authorities or check current conditions, as access details and amenities may vary seasonally. The nearby Torch River also provides alternative paddling options if you're interested in exploring flowing water in addition to lake paddling.
