Prairie River Lake Boat Launch
About
Prairie River Lake Boat Launch is a boat launch on Prairie River Lake in southern Michigan, about 4 miles from the town of Sturgis. It gives boaters a place to put in on the lake. Summer is the warmest stretch for time on the water. Typical July highs reach about 82°F with lows near 61°F, and September cools to highs around 74°F. Those are typical averages from a nearby weather station in Three Rivers, which sits at nearly the same elevation as the launch. Paddlers looking to extend a trip have two river options about 9 miles away: the Prairie River and the Fawn River, both used for canoeing.
