According to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the Lower Point Mills Road boat ramp is a concrete ramp with a gravel parking area. It is 20 feet wide and has a maximum launch depth of 3 feet. The ramp services Torch Lake, which is part of the Torch Lake Township in Houghton County, Michigan. Torch Lake is a large, deep lake known for its crystal-clear waters and is popular for boating, fishing, and swimming.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources states that the Lower Point Mills Road boat ramp is suitable for small to medium-sized boats, including kayaks, canoes, and fishing boats. However, larger vessels such as pontoon boats or sailboats may have difficulty launching from this ramp due to its shallow depth.

It is important to note that regulations and restrictions on watercraft may vary depending on the location and time of year. Therefore, it is recommended to check with local authorities or the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for the latest and most accurate information.
