Finest Boating destination In Michigan 

Leelanau County boat launch locations

Boating and Fishing are two of the most popular pastimes in Leelanau County during the summer months for all ages. In fact My grandfather had a stocked trout pond and it was truly what got me so into the love of fishing and that one fish that you try and try for years to catch.
Below are the access sites on Lake Michigan, Lake Leelanau, Glen Lake and Cedar Lake. This list includes Michigan DNR access sites, full service public marinas, township boat launches and village boat launches. Enjoy my fellow fisherman.
