Put In

This is a whitewater put-in access point located on the Ontonagon River at the Cisco Branch in Marenisco Township, Gogebic County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The site provides river access for paddlers looking to run whitewater sections of the Ontonagon system. As a dedicated whitewater put-in, this location is designed for kayakers and canoeists launching into flowing river conditions rather than calm lake paddling.

Paddlers using this access point should be prepared for moving water conditions typical of the Ontonagon River. The exact difficulty rating and specific hazards of this section would depend on water levels and seasonal conditions, so checking current river conditions before launching is recommended. Given the whitewater classification, this access is best suited for paddlers with some river experience and appropriate skills for the water levels present on the day of use.

The site's location in Marenisco Township provides access to a scenic section of the Ontonagon watershed. Paddlers should be familiar with the specific take-out points and shuttle arrangements for their chosen run, as whitewater sections typically require planning for vehicle positioning.
