Launches

Clinton River Cutoff DNR Public Access Site

36110 Jefferson Ave
Harrison Twp, MI 48045

N42 33.672 W82 50.717

This is one of the newest launches to be installed on Lake St. Clair. It gives terrific access to the north section of the Mile Roads. It loads up quickly in the morning but the new “overflow” parking has made it more likely that you can get a space.

There are three ramps and a bit of distance to walk back from your vehicle once you launch. This ramp has a tendency to collect silted water and floating weed.

Harley Ensign Memorial DNR Public Access Site

32995 S River Rd

Harrison Twp, MI 48045

N42 35.668  W82 46.741

This is, without a doubt, the busiest public access on Lake St. Clair. It has the most launching positions, parking and is located in a corridor between Anchor Bay, Lake St. Clair Metropark and access to the channel system of the St. Clair River.

Selfridge DNR Public Access Site

29028 William P Rosso Hwy, Selfridge Air National Guard Base, MI 48045

N42 37.776 W82 49.119

This ramp was updated and expanded in 2015. With quick access to Anchor Bay this ramp has a large number of spots and it is likely that you will find parking on most days. The ramp has at least five docks and well organized traffic flow. The Angler’s Point Marina bait shop is directly across the street from the entrance to the launch.

You will launch into a shallow bay that is comprised of sand and weed. To the south you have Selfridge AFB, Belle Maer Marina, Belvidere Bay and the Harley Ensign launch. To the north you have Cotton Road, Goulette Point, Brandenburg Park, Fair Haven, Grassy Island and the North Channel.
