Boston Lake Inlet Kayaking Guide
Boston Lake Inlet is a small inlet stream feeding Boston Lake in Ely Township, Marquette County, in Michigan's central Upper Peninsula. It appears in the state's trout-stream regulations for the Escanaba River basin (in township 48 north, range 28 west), where the Black River and its tributaries upstream of County Road 478 are listed as Type 1 trout water.
No paddling route, access point, mileage, coordinates, or character description is published for this inlet. It is known on paper as a small cold-water tributary, but paddlers have not documented anything about floating it.
Treat this as an unverified small inlet stream: likely narrow and shallow, and with no public launch on record.

Paddling the Boston Lake Inlet
No established paddling route documented
No put-in, take-out, mileage, or difficulty rating is published for Boston Lake Inlet. It is a small trout-stream tributary with no public launch on record.

Hazards & Portages

Access & Parking
No DNR or public boat launch is documented on Boston Lake Inlet. Access, if any, would be informal near Boston Lake in Ely Township — confirm land status first and respect posted private property.
