About This Access Site
Sand Bay Trading Co. provides boat ramp access to Grand Lake, a 5,823-acre lake in Presque Isle County's scenic Upper Peninsula. This access point is convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats onto the expansive water body. Grand Lake features a maximum depth of 25 feet and includes 19 islands ranging from small outcrops to 263-acre destinations, offering good exploration opportunities for paddlers and anglers alike.
For practical planning, paddlers should note the lake's size and check current conditions before launching, as larger water bodies can develop significant wind and wave action. The presence of numerous islands makes Grand Lake interesting for multi-day trips and island camping. Contact the access site or local resources for specific information about parking capacity, ramp conditions, amenities, and any seasonal considerations that may affect your visit.
