Brule/Menominee River Access

This public boat launch provides access to the Brule River, a scenic waterway characterized by long stretches of slow water interspersed with low-hazard rapids. The access point is located near Florence in Florence County and is available to paddlers and boaters year-round, though winter closures may occur due to ice conditions—check with local authorities before planning your trip. The ramp offers adequate space for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats.

The Brule River corridor offers excellent opportunities for fishing (trout, smallmouth bass, and northern pike are present), with multiple informal launch and take-out points available along public lands. The river's gentle character makes it suitable for paddlers of various skill levels. Numerous tributary streams feed into the river, adding to its scenic appeal. Be sure to consult current Michigan and Wisconsin fishing regulations before your visit, as regulations vary by reach.
