About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on the Pilgrim River in Houghton, Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The Pilgrim is a popular whitewater paddling destination, and this take-out serves boaters completing downstream runs. Given its classification as a whitewater take-out, this site is designed for paddlers finishing their trip rather than launching. The location in Houghton provides access to one of the region's notable paddling rivers, which flows through forested terrain characteristic of the Upper Peninsula.

Paddlers using this take-out should plan accordingly for vehicle shuttles typical of whitewater trips. The specific amenities and exact configuration of this take-out point are important to verify before your visit, as access points can vary in their facilities and seasonal availability. Given the whitewater nature of the Pilgrim, paddlers should ensure they have appropriate skills and equipment for moving water conditions.
