Torch Lake question...
 
Is the ramp on the north end of Torch Lake, just east of US-31 in Eastport, decently steep? My 16' launched fine, but I remember the lake being down a bit and the ramp being kind of shallow. We have some 22' Donzis meeting up there soon and wonder if this is a good ramp for us.

I used the one in the Torch River one Saturday and parking was crazy crowded. Are there any other decent launch sites on this lake?

THANKS!

Ramp next to the park should be perfect for a 22ft donzi..

Another couple questions for those familiar with this area:

#1. What is a good spot to drop in at and cruise the Sleeping Bear Dunes along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Any sandbars or shoals to worry about?

#2. Any public ramps on Glen Lake?

There are two of them in Eastport. One is down from a party store(Sonny's I think) on Park St if I remember right. It is just one launch with a small cement pier. I launched my Pantera 24 ther over the 4th and it was plenty deep. A local said this launch is much deeper than the one a few blocks away with the dock(s).

When are you heading to Torch?

Hey Tracy, long time no see. 408? Widened 40 is still in production. Just hung up the phone with Chris and he was at Skater on Friday.
