About This Access Site
Located near Newberry in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this boat ramp provides convenient access to the Tahquamenon River at the dam area. The site features a hard-surface ramp suitable for launching trailerable watercraft, with adequate water depth (minimum 2.5-3 feet at 20 feet from shore). Amenities include paved parking, rustic toilet facilities, and a boardwalk. The site is signed and maintained for public use.

This access point is ideal for paddlers and boaters exploring the scenic Tahquamenon River, known for its falls and productive fishery. Canoeists commonly use the area to access upper river sections, and the relatively calm water near the dam makes it suitable for various skill levels. The site provides a gateway to both day trips and longer paddling adventures. Note that nearby Tahquamenon Falls State Park offers additional camping and recreational facilities for visitors planning extended visits to the area.
