The Arthur Street Boat Launch in downtown Manistee provides universally accessible access to Manistee Lake and connections to the Manistee River and Lake Michigan via a paved ramp and barrier-free fishing pier.

The facility features ADA-compliant restrooms, handicap parking, and is open 24/7 year-round. Boaters should be aware of submerged pilings and slab docks from the area's historic lumbering era that pose navigation hazards.
