Noteworthy
This site is within the Port Huron State Game Area.
The river is wide enough this section so that it
provides a good setting for fly fishing or spin cast
fishing with spinners, spawn bags or wax worms
under a bobber. This is mainly a spring fishery but
some steelhead begin to enter the river in the fall
providing opportunities through the winter.
