About This Access Site
The Pickerel Lake boat ramp in Newaygo County offers developed public access to this popular lake. The launch is managed by the Pickerel Crooked Lake Association and features a gravel ramp suitable for small watercraft and canoes. The site includes a dedicated parking lot and pit toilet facilities, making it a reasonably equipped access point for paddlers and boaters.
Be prepared for busy conditions, especially during peak seasons, as this is a well-used motorized launch. The ramp is located on the Pickerel Lake side of the "Black Hole" area. If parking is limited, nearby amenities including the Party Shoppe are just a quarter mile away. This access point works well for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore Pickerel Lake, though paddlers should be aware of motorized boat traffic on the water.
