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!

There is a launch on the west side next to a park a few miles south of Eastport off 31. Might B called Torch Village area??? Perfectmix on here is on Torch alot, maybe he will C this and help out!!

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

Hey Chris, Tracy here, met U in Dave's hanger last year. Buddy Mike had his 47 parked next to U. Did U get your new boat yet? U had a 40 on order if I remember!!??

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.
