31 Mile Lake Boat Launch
I am looking for information on the closest boat launch on 31 mile lake if I am coming from Ottawa, the cost, is there lots of parking?
Re: 31 Mile Lake Boat Launch
The closest one would be the one just passed Point Comfort on the left just after you pass Pemichangan on the right. This puts you at the southern end of the lake. I don't believe there is any charge but you might be best to contact the Depanneur BGCarron to find out for sure. I marked it at the top of the map.
Cheers

Thanks Smitty, I checked that one out last year when fishing Pemichangan and it was closed.

Re: 31 Mile Lake Boat Launch
Hi there,
Point Comfort is no longer a viable option. The launch there use to be private and you could use it if you camped or paid to park an elderly woman Mrs Alie use to care for it but no longer does. You might try searching La Sage 31 mille for info. Rates for parking on Baie Mckenzie accessible from Bouchette are $25 a day for a vehicle with a trailer and I believe $15 to launch.

Re: 31 Mile Lake Boat Launch
You technically only pay for parking at the Bouchette's launch. 25$ if you have a trailer, 20$ for a car only. So to launch your boat, it's 25$.

The lake contains Lake trout, Whitefish, Northern Pike, Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass.
Re: 31 Mile Lake Boat Launch
Once on chemin Point Comfort about 10 minutes in turn left on chemin Baie Matte (dirt road). Another 10 minutes your at Baie Matte on 31 Mile. Nice boat launch with lots of parking.

Hey Barney,
I've never launched from Baie Matte but I heard that the launch was very muddy and you must exercise caution when backing up to lift boat off your trailer. Can you confirm these conditions?

Hi Emerald Pirate,
Concrete ramp with small stone gravel at bottom and top. Very clean. Lots of room to turn around and back in. Aluminum & plank dock off to one side to tie on to when you park your truck and trailer. You can tell gravel is trucked in. Lots of weeds past the launch but you will be OK. To get away from the launch I keep left for a few seconds then all is good. Was there yesterday. When I left there was a 20' or so pontoon tied up. The work looks fairly recent. Could of been all mud before but very clean now.

Re: 31 Mile Lake Boat Launch
Hi Everyone,
Bumping an old thread. Long time listener, first time caller. Just love the show.
Our family is going boat camping on 31 Mile Lake in a few weeks and I am looking into launches.
So far I have narrowed it down to the one on Chemin de la Baie Matte or the launch at Majopial. Baie Matte is preferred because it's closer and presumably free.
Questions:
a) Is overnight parking allowed at the Baie Matte launch?
b) Is there sufficient parking at this spot?
Thanks in advance.
