About This Access Site
**Location & Basics**
The Selkirk Lake public boat ramp is located in Shelbyville, Allegan County, near the designated public fishing area on the lake's south end. This 94-acre lake offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters in west-central Michigan.
**Lake Character**
Selkirk Lake reaches a maximum depth of 39 feet, making it suitable for various water activities. Be aware that high-speed boating and water skiing are permitted during specific hours (6:30 p.m. onward restrictions apply), so plan your paddling accordingly if you prefer quieter conditions. The lake's moderate size makes it manageable for kayaks and canoes while still offering enough water for a full day of exploration.
**Planning Your Visit**
This is a public access point maintained by the Michigan DNR. Before launching, check current conditions and any seasonal regulations. The site is best suited for day-use paddlers and boaters seeking a straightforward lake launch in a scenic Allegan County setting.
