Shadyside Park in Mount Clemens offers a convenient public access point to the Clinton River in Macomb County. The park features a boat ramp suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats, with wheelchair-accessible facilities including a handicapped-accessible pier. This makes it an inclusive option for paddlers of varying abilities.
The park provides amenities including picnic tables, a picnic shelter, and free parking, making it a practical spot for a day outing on the water. The site appears to be a developed public park rather than a primitive access point, so paddlers can expect some basic facilities and likely moderate foot traffic during peak seasons. The Clinton River in this area flows through the Mount Clemens region, offering a paddling option in Southeast Michigan's lower river systems.
For current information on hours of operation, specific parking details, and any seasonal closures, contact Macomb County Parks or check locally, as amenity details and fees may vary by season.
