Put In

This is a whitewater put-in access point on the West Branch of the Sturgeon River located in Laird Township within Houghton County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The site serves as a launch point for paddlers looking to access whitewater sections of this river system. Given its designation as a whitewater put-in, this location is primarily suited for kayakers and canoeists seeking moving water paddling experiences rather than motorized watercraft.

The West Branch Sturgeon River in this region is known for offering whitewater paddling opportunities typical of Michigan's Upper Peninsula river systems. Paddlers using this access point should be prepared for river conditions and have appropriate skill levels for whitewater navigation. The specific characteristics of water flow, difficulty rating, and seasonal conditions may vary, so checking current river conditions before visiting is recommended.

This put-in is located in a relatively remote area of the Upper Peninsula, so paddlers should plan accordingly with supplies and transportation. Access information, facility availability, and any user fees should be confirmed with local authorities or the managing agency prior to your visit.
