coralee Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 The downtown ramp is the closest but its steep, not sure of the condition of the Douglas ramp. I live about 20min away and you're welcome to leave your trailer by me. 138th and 43rd nearest cross street, 49419. (Hamilton area) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaCatMich Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 It has been a few years since I launched in Saugatuck. Used the ramp downtown near the Big Lake Outfitters shop. The ramp was plenty deep but the concrete under the water is pretty short. Launched okay but put the back tires on the trailer past the concrete to get in far enough to get the boat loaded. No parking other than the streets near the ramp -- not a good idea on a weekend in Saugatuck.I was told that the ramp up river out near the I196 expressway is very shallow and havigation to the lake can be an adventure.I would contact some of the big marinas to see if they have a ramp, dockage and trailer parking. Tower Marine has a good size operation there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
