McKinley Landing provides convenient access to the Au Sable River for both fishing and paddling, with parking available for multiple vehicles and a good location to launch or retrieve drift boats and canoes.

Located on the west side of the Evans Road bridge south of McKinley, this is a gear-restricted stream section ideal for wading (though wading water is limited) and float trips.

Note that this is a designated trout stream with specific fishing regulations that apply upstream and downstream of the landing.
