Bear Lake

Bear Lake in Hillsdale County offers a public boat ramp access point for paddlers and boaters in the southern Michigan region. Located in Hillsdale Township, this daylight-hours access site provides a launching point for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. As with other public accesses in the Bear Lake area, users should be respectful of adjacent residential properties, dispose of trash properly, and note that campfires are not permitted at this site.

Before visiting, confirm current access hours and any permit requirements with Hillsdale County or local township officials, as regulations may apply. This access point is best suited for day-use paddling and boating activities on Bear Lake itself rather than river paddling.
