About This Access Site
The South Rockwood boat ramp provides access to the Huron River near its confluence with Lake Erie. This free public launch site is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. The ramp is located just off I-75 and S. Huron River Drive, making it an easily accessible entry point to explore this section of the Huron River.
The Huron River in this area is relatively wide and slow-moving, with a mild gradient that makes for pleasant paddling. Boaters and paddlers can enjoy scenic views of the surrounding wetlands and access nearby recreation areas like the River Raisin National Battlefield Park and Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge. While there are no on-site facilities, the launch site offers a paved boat ramp and a small dock. Visitors should come prepared with their own supplies and be aware of any river conditions or regulations before launching.
