Dutchman's Bay

Located in East Jordan on Lake Charlevoix's South Arm, Dutchman's Bay is a well-developed public access point featuring two double concrete ramps with a loading dock, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and larger boats. The facility includes a vault toilet and ample parking. The launch sits near Veterans Park and is conveniently close to local restaurants and fuel stations, so paddlers can easily grab supplies before heading out.

The South Arm waters west toward Elm Point and north feature shallow flats with good weed cover, offering scenic paddling and wildlife viewing opportunities. The area is popular for fishing walleye and smallmouth bass, particularly in spring and early summer. Whether you're exploring the scenic shoreline, fishing, or simply enjoying time on the water, this is one of Lake Charlevoix's most popular and accessible launch points.
