We took a kayak tour of the bluffs here with Lakeshore Adventures. Great place to sightsee and kayak! Easy launch point and there is a portable toilet and ample parking.

Beautiful area and great "launch" for anything you can carry. This isn't a place for boat trailers. Bit great for a kayak, canoe, paddleboard...
