Old YMCA Take Out is a whitewater take-out access point on the Boardman River located in Garfield Township, Grand Traverse County, Michigan. This site serves paddlers completing whitewater runs on the Boardman, which is known for its scenic flowing sections and moderate whitewater features. As a take-out location, this access point is designed for paddlers exiting the river after their downstream journey rather than as a launch point.
Paddlers using this site should be prepared for typical whitewater conditions on the Boardman River and plan their take-out accordingly. The location near the former YMCA facility in Garfield Township provides access to this section of the river. Given its designation as a whitewater take-out, paddlers should have appropriate river experience and equipment for the conditions they will encounter upstream.
