North Jones Road

**Location & Access:**
North Jones Road provides public boat launch access to Lake Huron in Essexville, Bay County. This DNR-maintained facility offers a hard-surface ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, motorboats, and larger vessels seeking direct access to Michigan's second-largest Great Lake.

**Practical Information:**
As a public DNR launch, the ramp operates seasonally from early April through mid-November (weather permitting). A daily launch fee or seasonal permit is required year-round. Paddlers should be prepared for Lake Huron's open-water conditions—expect variable wind and wave conditions typical of a large freshwater lake. The facility's concrete ramp and parking area accommodate various watercraft sizes, making it a practical starting point for both day trips and extended paddling adventures on the lake.
