Public Launches In the State of Michigan
There are more than 1,200 public launching sites for boaters. Most of the sites are administered and operated by the Parks and Recreation Division of the Department of Natural Resources. A good number of those DNR boat launch sites are situated in the tri-county area. Boat launches allow many area residents who don’t live on lakes to enjoy the beautiful local waterways. Whether it’s fishing, skiing, sailing, swimming or just taking in the beautiful scenes, Michigan’s “golden triangle” has it all.
