The Michigan DNR-managed Cub Lake Boating Access Site is located at the northeast end of the lake's main basin in Hillsdale County. This modest facility features a paved concrete boat ramp, 10 parking spaces, a public restroom, and one pier—making it suitable for small to mid-sized boats and paddlecraft.
Cub Lake itself is a 69-acre inland lake with a maximum depth of 43 feet, offering decent water depth for various boating activities. The access point provides a straightforward launch for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. Given the facility's basic amenities and location on the main basin, it's well-suited for day trips and casual paddling rather than extended expeditions. Paddlers should arrive early during peak season, as the 10-space parking lot fills quickly on busy days.
