Ramp Quirks & Etiquette
Carry-In Only
Natural area with shore access to Torch Lake for kayaks, canoes, and SUPs. No trailer ramp, no dock, no facilities. This is a land conservancy property — tread lightly.
Mid-Lake Access
Located on the west shore of Torch Lake roughly mid-lake. One of very few public access points between Eastport at the north end and the Torch River launches at the south end.
