About This Access Site
Located in Sturgis, St. Joseph County, Michigan, the Omena Lake boat ramp offers public carry-in access to this scenic 160-acre lake. This is an ideal launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters looking to explore a moderately-sized inland lake with good depth (maximum 56 feet). The unpaved parking lot is conveniently located across Omena Point Road from the access area.

The site includes amenities useful for day trips, including picnic tables, playground equipment, and pit toilets. Swimmers and paddlers alike can use the facility for recreation. Given the carry-in nature of the access, this ramp is best suited for smaller watercraft like kayaks, canoes, and inflatable boats rather than larger motorboats. Plan to arrive early during peak season to secure parking in the unpaved lot.
