Deer Lake

Located at 4051 W Deer Lake Road in Swiss Township on Deer Lake's west shore, this public access site is situated approximately seven miles east of the Highway 35 and 77 intersection. The ramp features a concrete boat launch with a dock, making it convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. Basic amenities include a picnic table and parking area, providing a functional starting point for paddling or boating activities on Deer Lake.

This access point serves paddlers exploring Deer Lake, a relatively modest-sized inland lake in Charlevoix County's Northwest Region. The site's west-shore location offers easy water access, though paddlers should check current wind conditions and water levels before launching. The facility is straightforward and suitable for recreational boating; those planning extended trips should come prepared and familiar with the lake's layout and any applicable regulations.
