Swedetown Creek

Located in Hancock along the Portage Lake Ship Canal, this public boat ramp offers convenient access to some great Upper Peninsula waters. Managed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, you'll find it's a solid choice for launching into the canal and exploring the connected waterways. The ramp is straightforward and easy to use, making it a practical spot whether you're heading out for a fishing trip, pleasure cruise, or just getting your boat on the water. The public access means you won't have to worry about private restrictions, and the DNR management keeps things maintained. It's a no-fuss option if you're in the Houghton County area and need to get your vessel in the water quickly.
