About This Access Site
Located in Wellington, Gogebic County near the Michigan-Wisconsin border, this boat ramp provides access to Moosehead Lake, a large mixed cold/warm water lake covering over 100 square miles. The launch is situated at Moosehead Lake Camp, a first-come, first-served campground facility where you can access the ramp directly from the property. The lake offers excellent fishing opportunities and connects to Little Preque Isle Lake in Wisconsin via a navigable channel, making it ideal for extended paddling and boating adventures.

The access site is part of a campground complex with nearby amenities for those looking to extend their visit. Moosehead Lake Camp operates on a first-come, first-served basis—simply arrive at the location to secure a camping spot and pay via QR code through the Recreation.gov mobile app when available. Several other reservable campgrounds are located within 10 miles if you prefer advance booking. With its deep waters and substantial size, Moosehead Lake is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats seeking a remote northwoods paddling destination.
