About This Access Site
The M28 pull-off is a whitewater put-in access point located in Covington Township, Baraga County, Michigan, providing entry to the Perch River. This is a pull-off style access area, indicating a modest facility designed for boaters looking to launch into whitewater conditions. The location along M28 offers convenient roadside access for paddlers and boaters seeking to explore the Perch River's whitewater sections. Given its classification as a whitewater put-in, this site is most suitable for kayakers and canoeists with intermediate to advanced skills who are comfortable navigating moving water.

Paddlers using this access should be prepared for whitewater conditions and bring appropriate safety gear, including life jackets and helmets. The pull-off format suggests limited amenities, so boaters should plan accordingly and ensure they have all necessary equipment before arriving. The Perch River in this area of Michigan's Upper Peninsula offers opportunities for whitewater paddling in a remote setting characteristic of the region.
