The Threemile Lake boat ramp provides access to a scenic 176-acre lake in rural Van Buren County, near the village of Paw Paw. This is an excellent destination for kayakers and canoeists seeking a quieter paddling experience, as Little Three Mile Lake enforces restrictions on high-speed boating and water sports like skiing and tubing. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 35 feet and is surrounded by approximately 100 acres of pristine wetlands that support diverse wildlife populations.
Convenient services are nearby despite the rural setting—Paw Paw village is just three miles away, and the larger cities of Kalamazoo and Portage are only 20 minutes by car. The combination of calm water conditions, protected wetlands, and accessible amenities makes this a practical spot for paddlers of all skill levels to launch and explore.
