Boat Ramp
Boat Ramp
Sawmill Point Boat Launch is a small gravel ramp on Cook Pond in the Huron-Manistee National Forests that provides access for both motorized and non-motorized boating, with primitive campsites adjacent to the site.
The facility has a 10-vehicle parking capacity and tends to fill quickly on summer weekends; restrooms are available but potable water is not. A $5 day-use fee applies, and the site is open year-round though not plowed in winter.
