Manistee River Fishing Access Site

This access site provides entry to an 11-mile stretch of the Manistee River that flows through the Manistee National Forest, accessible via River Road approximately 0. 5 miles west of Hodenpyl Dam Road.

The location features a footbridge allowing anglers to cross to the east side and access the Manistee River Trail, which offers campsites for backpackers and canoeists.

The river reach consists of gravel riffles and deep holes suitable for wading, bank fishing, and float-fishing by canoe, kayak, or drift boat.
