About This Access Site
The Highway 577 boat ramp near Faithorn provides access to the Menominee River, a 115-mile waterway forming the border between Michigan and Wisconsin. This carry-in access point features a approximately 16-foot-wide ramp with ample parking for vehicles with trailers, making it suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The site includes a vault toilet and scenic overlook, offering convenient amenities for paddlers preparing for their trip.

**Seasonal Considerations:** Access may be limited during winter months due to ice conditions, so check with local authorities before planning a winter trip. The Menominee River is known for fishing and recreational boating, though paddlers should be aware that rapids occur along portions of the river. This access point is a good starting location for exploring this popular water corridor along the Michigan-Wisconsin state boundary.
