Canoe Harbor Road provides vehicle access to Canoe Harbor State Forest Campground, a rustic 41-site campground located 14 miles southeast of Grayling along the South Branch Au Sable River.

The access road is rough and unpaved, requiring slow driving, but leads to excellent paddling and fishing opportunities with multiple river access points and four paddle-in campsites.

Basic amenities include vault toilets and hand-pump water throughout the campground, with sites available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
