This gravel boat ramp provides access to Loud Dam Pond and the Au Sable River's dispersed camping area, serving as a launch point for the 102 primitive campsites spread across 55 miles of river shoreline.

The small site is adjacent to primitive campsites and tends to fill quickly on summer weekends, making early arrival advisable. Alternative boat launches in the area include Pine Acres and Cooke Dam for additional access options.
