The Sturgeon Bay Yacht Club offers a convenient boat launch facility on the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal in Door County. The site features **two launch ramps** and a lighted parking lot, with a small dock available to assist with launching and trailering boats. This is a private facility, so access may require membership or daily/seasonal passes—contact the club directly for current pricing and launch pass information.
This location provides good access to the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, which serves as a major waterway through the Door County peninsula and connects Sturgeon Bay to Lake Michigan. The calm, protected waters of the canal make it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. Note that there are **no transient docking facilities** at this access point, so it's primarily designed for day-use launching and retrieval. Paddlers should plan accordingly if they need longer-term mooring or docking options.
