Also, Leeland, South Manitou Island, Charlevoix, Bay Harbor and of course Torch Lake---of which by the way is rated as the 3rd most beautiful lake in the world by National Geographic Magazine. I plan on being at Elk Rapids and Torch Lake for the weekend of the July 4th.
Who's going to be around the Torch Lake area and their famous "sand bar" for the weekend of the 4th???

My boat is 32' and I like to launch over on Elk Lake in downtown Elk Rapids----however, I can just barely get my boat on/off the trailer there at that particular launch and yet there are still some guys who can launch a 38 footer out of the same launch! I think that depends on how your boat sits on the trailer you have, etc. The launch only goes back so far and so deep---after that there is a little curb to warn you that you are at the end of the lauch before it DROPS OFF. The water is so clear that you can look down in the water and see the end of the launch, etc, otherwise I prbably would never launch there as I need all of the launch pad as it will allow me to use. I have a 3-axle trailer and I'm not exactly sure of what would happen if one of my axles would go past the curb and drop off----and I don't think I really want to find out anytime soon for fear of having to pay a crane fee of sorts to lift it up.
Anyway, I personally like to take the scenic route via Elk Lake, and then I buzz over to Lake Skegemog, and then through the stump field up the Torch River to Torch Lake. There are launches on Torch Lake---I just don't know where they all are or what lengths/depths they will handle. Perhaps some of the guys who read this will chime in who are from up there or are familiar with it all up there.
What make/length of boat do you have?

Re: Northern Michigan fun run count down!!!
Kaama,
I'm towing 32 Dominator on a Heritage trailer. Have heard the launches on Torch are shallow. And that a few outdrives are lost each year in the stump field! But I' still interested in the sand bar party, etc. Is the party on the 4th or on adjoining July 4th Saturday?
Otherwise I've been running out of Port Sanilac (or Lexington) to Port Huron and usually hang at Lake Port State Park beach.
My boat name is actually I DOCKED 'ER, but for some reason OSO server won't recognize the [space '] in the name. So I surf as I DOCKED 'ER elsewhere.
