Prickett Lake offers a convenient boat launch for paddlers and boaters in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Located on the west shore in Pelkie, this access point features a public boat ramp managed by a power company, with parking available for approximately 10 vehicles. The launch provides straightforward access to the 793-acre lake, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats alike.
The lake reaches a maximum depth of 56 feet and has historically been stocked with rainbow trout, offering opportunities for both paddling and fishing. This mid-lake location serves as a good starting point for exploring the surrounding Baraga County waterways. Paddlers should plan accordingly based on parking availability and check local conditions before heading out, particularly during peak season when the lot may fill up.
