Presque Isle

Presque Isle offers paddlers and boaters access to Lake Superior's scenic shoreline near Marquette. The ramp features a paved concrete launch with a loading dock, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and larger boats. The site includes vault toilets and parking for approximately 32 vehicles with trailers, providing adequate facilities for day-use visitors. As part of the popular Thompson's Harbor – Presque Isle Blueway, this access point is well-positioned for exploring the area's extensive waterways.

Paddlers should be prepared for Lake Superior's open-water conditions, which can include significant wind and wave activity even on seemingly calm days. The moderate bank approach makes launching manageable, though expect recreational boat traffic during peak seasons. The surrounding area features four miles of sandy shoreline and the beautiful Presque Isle landscape of birch and pine forests, making this an excellent base for both day trips and multi-day paddling adventures. Check local conditions before heading out, as Lake Superior demands respect and proper safety preparation.
