About This Access Site
Whitewater Township Park offers a well-developed public access point to Elk Lake in Angel, Michigan. The site features a two-lane asphalt boat ramp with adjacent parking (including handicap-accessible spaces), making it suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. Vault toilets and a picnic area with pavilion are located near the ramp, providing convenient amenities for day-use visitors.

This is a designated trailhead for the Chain of Lakes Water Trail system, making it an ideal starting point for paddlers exploring the area's interconnected waterways. Day-use fees apply ($5 for a non-camper daily pass), though annual and seasonal passes are available. The park also includes a sandy swimming beach and 55 nearby campsites, offering options for extended trips. Handicap accessibility is available at both the boat ramp and restroom facilities.
