Ellis Lake

Ellis Lake offers a public boat ramp access point located in Grawn, Grand Traverse County, providing convenient launch facilities for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The access site is situated in northern Michigan's beautiful Grand Traverse region, near the communities of Interlochen and Chums Corner. This is a straightforward ramp facility ideal for paddlers looking to explore a inland lake setting.

The ramp accommodates various watercraft types, from kayaks and canoes to larger motorboats. When launching, remember to avoid power loading to prevent damage to your boat, motor, trailer, and the ramp itself. Ellis Lake is popular with anglers, and fishing guides and charter services are available in the area if you're interested in guided outings on the water.
