Route 480

**Facility Details**
The Route 480 boat ramp at Carpenter Landing provides public access to Manistique Lake from the northwest section of the lake. This is a one-lane concrete ramp with an attached dock, making it suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and trailerable motorboats. The facility includes gravel parking available for boaters.

**Location & Nearby Recreation**
Situated in Luce County, Michigan, off County Road 480, this access point puts paddlers in proximity to several notable outdoor areas, including the Kirtland's Warbler Wildlife Management Area and Seney National Wildlife Refuge—both excellent for wildlife viewing from the water. The northwest location on Manistique Lake offers a good starting point for exploring this larger inland waterway.
