Brookings Parking Access provides the main entry point to the Black River within the Dave Donaldson Black River WMA, located about 2 miles north of Deleplaine via Highway 90 and Highway 280.

This access point serves as a primary launch for waterfowl hunters and anglers, with boating being the primary means of accessing the river's fishing opportunities.

The area experiences heavy use during waterfowl season opening, so plan accordingly for peak traffic times.
