Robert M. Carmody County Park

Robert M. Carmody County Park in Sturgeon Bay offers a well-developed public access point to Little Sturgeon Bay with a six-lane boat launch ramp protected by a 350-foot wave attenuator dock. This makes it an excellent option for kayakers and canoeists seeking calm water conditions and safe entry/exit, particularly in variable Lake Michigan weather. The park features an ADA-accessible kayak launch, making it convenient for paddlers of all abilities.

The facility includes ample amenities for a full day on the water: a 90-vehicle parking lot, restrooms, a fishing pier (also ADA-accessible), and a picnic area. Located in Southern Door County at the gateway to Little Sturgeon Bay and Green Bay, this access point provides paddlers with protected waters ideal for exploring the scenic Sturgeon Bay area. A launch fee is required, and the park operates from half an hour before sunrise until 11 p.m. daily.
