Garrett Bay Road Boat Launch

Located in Ellison Bay on Lake Michigan's Door County shoreline, the Garrett Bay Road boat ramp provides convenient access to one of Wisconsin's most scenic paddling destinations. This ramp is designated for non-motorized watercraft, making it ideal for kayakers and canoeists exploring Lake Michigan's protected waters and nearby coastal features.

The site offers easy launch access to paddling routes near several notable destinations, including Green Bay National Wildlife Refuge and Gravel Island National Wildlife Refuge (comprising Gravel Island and Spider Island). Paddlers can expect to encounter the diverse marine environment typical of Lake Michigan, with opportunities to explore the picturesque shoreline and islands that characterize Door County. As with all Lake Michigan access points, paddlers should be prepared for variable water conditions and plan accordingly for open water paddling.
