About This Access Site
This take-out site on Planter Creek in Wakefield Township serves as an exit point for whitewater paddlers completing runs on this northern Michigan waterway. Located in Gogebic County, the site provides access to Planter Creek, a whitewater river that attracts kayakers and canoeists seeking moderate to challenging paddling experiences. As a take-out location, this site is designed for paddlers to exit the water after their downstream journey rather than as a launch point.
