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. Any exploration would be fully exploratory: check Michigan DNR waterway maps and county atlases, confirm land ownership at any road crossing, and do not count on finding runnable water or a place to launch.

Hazards & Portages

With no documented route, hazards cannot be catalogued. Expect the default small-stream complications — beaver dams, strainers, and seasonal low water — plus the practical hazard of private land with no public access. Verify before you go.

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.
