ABOUT THIS PAGE - The color of the launch ramps on the Google map gives a rough idea (based on DNR criteria) of the restrictions likely at that site. Green indicates that all-trailerable (<26') boats should be able to be launched. Note: This DNR determination is likely geared toward motorboats and not sailboats drafting over 3 feet. Yellow indicates only moderately sized center-board boats may be capable of launching, while red indicates more severe restrictions. Clicking on the indicators will give more info on the ramp and allow for directions to be obtained.

DISCLAIMER - Although the information provided by this site is believed to be correct, it is not warranted in any way. Any information provided is for guidance only and should be used with caution or verification through official sources.

      Lake Access & the DNR Passport

Most Michigan DNR ramps require access fees. These fees are waived for Michigan residents who have selected the Passport option during their vehicle license renewal. SailMichigan highly recommends this option. Out of state visitors can access these ramps for an $8 daily fee or a $29 annual fee. These "visitor passports" may be purchased at any state park or online.

Notes:

Located adjacent to the town of Spring Lake and near Grand Haven, Spring Lake is a drowned river-mouth lake which extends from Muskegon County into Ottawa County. The lake is connected to Lake Michigan through its connection with the Grand River. No hydrologic map is available for this lake, so median and maximum water depths could not be determined. Public boat access ramps are indicated on the following Google map, however there may be bridge restrictions to various areas of the lake. As indicated on the map, Ramp A is located at the bridge in Pettys Bayou, Ramp B is located near the intersection of School St. and W. Exchage Street (Mill Point Public Access), while Ramp C is located in the town of Fruitport in Muskegon County.

 

Spring Lake is also host to the Spring Lake Yacht Club which supports education and an active racing schedule using the following fleets: Butterfly, MC Scow, C Scow and E Scow.
