Alden

The Alden Boat Launch is a convenient public access point located in downtown Alden at the west end of Helena Road on Torch Lake's western shore. The site features a single-lane concrete ramp with an assist for launching and retrieving boats due to the steep slope, plus parking for vehicles and trailers. The access sign is visible from the road, making it easy to locate.

This launch provides straightforward access to Torch Lake, a large inland lake popular for recreational boating and paddling. The facility is best suited for motorboats and larger watercraft, though kayakers and canoeists can also use the ramp. For paddlers exploring the area, note that Torch Lake has several other access points (including Eastport at the north end and Crystal Beach at the south end), allowing for different launch and takeout options depending on your planned route.
