Frenchman's Bay Launch - West Side?

[John Bacon]

Does any one if there is an available launch ramp on the west side of Frenchman's Bay? I know I can launch on the east side of the bay.

 

I wasn't too impressed with the ramp on the east side. I was ice fishing the bay this winter and it looked like Swans Marina on the west side of the bay had a good ramp. But I cannot find any information about launching boats from the west side.

 

Is Whitby harbour the next available launch east of Frenchman's Bay?

 

I would appreciate any information that you can provide.

Yes, I believe Whitby is the next launch east.

 

You can launch off the beach just west of the gap out to the lake, into Frenchmans Bay.

 

If you have a heavy boat, you'd better have a 4x4. Shallow launch -might have to put rear wheels into the water.

 

Not sure of the road but it's easy to find.

there is a beach launch on the west side its some what decent if you have a 4wheel drive launch to either the right or left side if you have 2 wheel drive launch to the left facing THE LAKE not the bay if you launch on the other side youll get stuck there is also that other marina ive never launched from there but i do from the beach launch its pretty easy

Lots of people launch from the beach on the west side daily , some 2 wheel drives depending on the boat/trailer.
