About This Access Site
Bewabic State Park offers the only public boat launch access to the Fortune Lakes Chain, making it an essential entry point for paddlers and boaters exploring this water system. The accessible launch is located on Fortune Lake (First Lake) in Iron County's Upper Peninsula. The park provides convenient amenities including parking, restrooms, and a day-use area, making it a straightforward access point for kayakers and canoeists.

Beyond the launch itself, Bewabic State Park offers additional recreational opportunities including a swim beach, picnic areas, and hiking trails. The park is also a full-service campground with both modern and rustic campsites available for overnight stays, allowing for extended paddling trips on the Fortune Lakes Chain. The park's rich Civilian Conservation Corps history is reflected in several structures still in use today, adding to its character as a well-established recreation destination.
