Highway 64 Bridge

The Highway 64 Bridge access point provides convenient public access to the Presque Isle River near Marenisco in Michigan's western Upper Peninsula. Located directly off State Highway M-64 south of Silver City, this site serves as one of the main launch points for paddlers exploring the scenic Presque Isle River. The access is well-positioned for kayakers and canoeists looking to paddle lower sections of the river.

This launch works well for Class I flatwater paddling and connects to downstream sections toward Bonanza Falls. Paddlers should plan takeouts accordingly—Bonanza Falls marks a natural upper boundary, so trips are typically designed to end before this drop. The site's highway location makes it accessible for day trips and serves paddlers of varying skill levels seeking to explore this north woods river corridor.

Several campgrounds operate within 10 miles of the access site, including Henry Lake, Bobcat Lake, and Pomeroy Lake camps (all reservable), making it convenient for planning multi-day paddling trips. The Presque Isle River area is managed by the U.S. Forest Service, and paddlers should check current conditions and any specific guidelines before heading out.
