Northport Boatyard

Located in Leelanau Township along the beautiful waters of Grand Traverse Bay, this semi-private boat ramp offers convenient access for launching. Managed by the U.S. Geological Survey, it's a solid option if you're looking to get out on the bay for fishing, cruising, or just enjoying a day on the water. The semi-private status means you'll want to check on any specific access requirements or fees before heading out, but it's worth the stop if you're in the area. Grand Traverse Bay is fantastic for boating year-round, with plenty of scenic shoreline and good conditions for various water activities.
