About This Access Site
Located at 12201 Public Dock Road in Kewadin, this is the primary public boat launch on the north end of Torch Lake. The facility features a concrete single-lane ramp with an attached concrete dock, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and larger motorboats. The site includes a small parking area with designated trailer parking (reportedly $10 per trailer) and restrooms. A nearby park with beach and playground amenities provides additional facilities for visitors.

This is a popular and busy access point, particularly during summer weekends, so expect crowds during peak season. The launch's location on the north end of the lake—away from the shallow sandbar areas—provides good water access for paddling and boating. Those seeking quieter alternatives or different put-in points may want to explore other Torch Lake access sites including Alden Boat Launch to the south or Eastport Access at the northern tip. Call ahead to confirm current fees and any seasonal restrictions before your visit.
