Small public kayak launch on the Lake Huron shoreline near S 11th Ave in Alpena. Shoot low-angle waterscapes and reflections, paddle silhouettes at sunrise/sunset, and seasonal birdlife along the marshy edges. Easily accessible from roadside parking; expect minimal facilities. Best light is calm early mornings for glassy water and golden hour colors; spring and fall bring migratory waterfowl. Carry waterproof protection for gear and be prepared for wind off the lake.
