Parking & access

Michigan DNR hard-surface launch with approximately 21 spaces and a restroom; boating access does not itself guarantee shore rigging or wingfoil priority.

“A current local wingfoiler says they ride Lake Leelanau from the Bingham boat-launch area. Public launch and lake-association sources corroborate the access and invasive-milfoil hazard.”
