Garfield Avenue

The Garfield Avenue boat ramp is a well-developed county launch facility located in Cheboygan near the mouth of the Cheboygan River where it meets Lake Huron. This access point features two large concrete ramps and is situated adjacent to the county marina, making it a substantial and reliable launching location for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats alike. The proximity to Lake Huron and the Inland Waterway system makes this an excellent staging point for paddlers looking to explore both the river and larger water routes in the region.

Paddlers should note that this is a developed facility with professional infrastructure, ideal for launching larger boats or those without experience at smaller access points. The location's position near Lake Huron means conditions can be variable depending on Great Lakes weather patterns. Before launching, check current river conditions and wind forecasts, as the transition zone between river and open water can present challenges.
