The Joslin Lake boating access site, located in Lyndon Township in Washtenaw County, is temporarily closed for boat ramp replacement.

The site improvement project will include dredging of the site, removal of vegetation and replacement of the existing deteriorated ramp with a new ramp measuring 18 feet wide by 60 feet long. Construction is expected to last just over two weeks, with a tentative reopening date of Aug. 30.

“The upgrade will help boat traffic entering and exiting Joslin Lake,” said Barbara McCarter, supervisor at Pinckney Recreation Area.  

It is recommended that those planning to visit Joslin Lake boating access site check michigan.gov/dnrclosures for any anticipated changes to the reopening date. Additional information on closures and trail detours in DNR facilities, including state trails, boat launches, parks and campgrounds, also are listed on this page.

This project is funded through the Michigan State Waterways Fund. The restricted fund, which is derived from boat registration fees and the Michigan marine fuel tax, helps pay for the construction, operation and maintenance of public recreational boating facilities.
