Coast Guard Fest launches?
 

Heading to Coast Guard Fest this weekend and will be my first trip over to Grand Haven with a boat... any launch suggestions? Any info would be appreciated I don't know the waters over there and didn't get over to do any scouting. Thanks in advance any info is greatly appreciated!

Grand Haven Municipal is probably your best option.

Municipal Boat Launch
Harbor Island (west off US-31, south of the drawbridge)
Grand Haven, MI 49417
616-847-3479

When you come over the drawbridge, you will turn right onto Coho and the municipal launch is on your right after you cross the RR tracks.

The Municipal is definitely your best bet. Unless you feel like venturing through Lake Mich a little bit then launch in Port Sheldon.

Any problems with parking filling up? How's the situation with that?

tons of room to park. they have the main lot and 2 overfllow lots. pry room to park 150 or so. i will be there launching sat morning if the weather holds out. FYI it is $10 to launch and park

+1 FYI. When you launch, make sure you go out to the center of the river (North) before heading east or west.
