About This Access Site
The Thornapple Lake boat ramp in Nashville provides a concrete launch facility for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters accessing this popular Barry County water body. The ramp is well-suited for launching small to medium-sized vessels into the lake's calm waters, making it an accessible entry point for paddlers of varying skill levels.
Thornapple Lake is known as a productive fishing destination, with abundant populations of walleye, muskie, largemouth bass, and panfish, though recreational paddling and exploration are equally viable uses. The area offers good opportunities for a leisurely paddle around the lake. Nearby Historic Charlton Park features over 3 miles of wooded trails if you're looking to combine your water visit with hiking. For current conditions, facility details, and any seasonal access information, check the Michigan DNR's Boating Access Site resources or contact your local DNR office.
