Big Manistique Lake/Directions from the south:

Once over the bridge, take US 2 west to H-33 Manistique Lake Rd.  Turn right.  Proceed down H-33 until it comes to a stop sign.  Turn left and proceed into Curtis.  Go past the Tally Ho Bar to the Manistique Lions Club and turn right on Saw Wa Quato Street.  Go ¼ mile and the boat launch is on the right.

There is just one launch ramp, so please arrive early enough to get registered and launched.  Parking is somewhat limited at this site so please angle park with the goal of leaving some space available for other boaters.
