Rowleys Bay State Boat Access

Located in the northwest section of Lake Michigan near Ellison Bay in Door County, Rowleys Bay offers a single-lane concrete boat ramp with docking facilities and paved parking. This access point provides a convenient launch location for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore Lake Michigan's waters. The developed infrastructure makes it suitable for paddlers of varying experience levels launching onto this large Great Lake.

The site's proximity to notable natural areas adds to its appeal. Paddlers can explore the waters near Green Bay National Wildlife Refuge and Gravel Island National Wildlife Refuge, making this a good base for wildlife viewing and scenic paddling excursions. Given Lake Michigan's size and conditions, paddlers should be prepared for variable wind and wave conditions typical of this Great Lake and check conditions before launching.
