McPhee's Landing is a Michigan DNR-managed boat ramp providing access to the Tahquamenon River east of Newberry in Luce County. This is a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the river, located near where M-123 crosses the waterway.
The Tahquamenon River is known for its tea-colored, stained water and offers opportunities for fishing (the river supports a healthy brown trout population and receives salmon runs from Lake Superior). Be prepared for visibility challenges due to the water's color when planning your activities. The river can be challenging for larger watercraft, so smaller boats and paddled vessels are well-suited to this access point.
For specific information about amenities, seasonal access, or any current conditions, contact the Newberry DNR office or check Michigan's official recreation resources before your visit.
