About This Access Site
This is a whitewater take-out access point on the West Branch of the Sturgeon River in Laird Township, Houghton County, Michigan. The take-out serves paddlers completing whitewater runs on this section of river. Being a designated take-out rather than a launch point, this site is primarily used by boaters and kayakers finishing their downstream paddling trips. The location in Michigan's Upper Peninsula makes it part of the region's popular whitewater paddling network.
