Matteson Lake

Matteson Lake in Bronson, Branch County offers a public boat ramp access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. Located in southwest Michigan's Matteson Township, this access site provides a convenient launch for exploring the lake's waters. The ramp is maintained as part of Michigan's network of public boating access sites.

When launching, paddlers should avoid power loading—a practice that can damage boats, motors, trailers, and the ramp itself. Back your trailer in smoothly and load/unload away from the ramp to keep it clear for other users. This is a standard practice at Michigan's public access sites and helps maintain the facility for everyone.

For current information on hours of operation, facilities available, and any seasonal closures, contact the Michigan DNR or check their Recreation Passport program website. Matteson Lake is a good option for a casual day paddle or fishing trip in the Branch County area.
