Kenneth Drive

The Kenneth Drive access site provides public boat ramp access to the Rifle River in Alger, Ogemaw County, Michigan. This launch point is a convenient starting location for paddlers and boaters looking to access this scenic river system in the northern Lower Peninsula.

The Rifle River is a popular paddling destination known for its gentle to moderate current and mixed landscape of forests and wetlands. Kayakers and canoeists will find this access point useful for day trips and recreational paddling. Before launching, check current water conditions and flows, as river levels can vary seasonally—spring typically offers higher water levels, while summer may present lower flows that could affect navigation in shallow sections.

For specific details about ramp conditions, parking availability, or any seasonal closures, contact Ogemaw County Parks or local DNR offices. It's always advisable to wear a personal flotation device and be prepared for Michigan's variable weather conditions.
