Overview

West Sharon Road is a public boating access site on Manistee River, an river/stream, maintained by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. It provides a boat launch — typically a hard-surface or gravel ramp with vehicle-and-trailer parking — opening up Manistee River for motorboating, fishing, kayaking and canoeing.

Access sites like this are the gateways to Michigan's lakes and rivers. A Michigan Recreation Passport may be required at state-managed sites, and ramp suitability varies, so check current conditions and your craft's needs before launching. See related places for the waterbody and nearby parks.
