The South Walhalla access site provides a boat ramp on the Pere Marquette River located on Walhalla Road, approximately 1.5 miles south of US-10 near Walhalla in Branch Township, Mason County. This access point serves as an important launching area for the lower Pere Marquette, a 66-mile National Scenic River known for its clear waters and scenic beauty.
**Important regulations to note:** No motorized boats are permitted upstream of Indian Bridge, making this ramp the only motorized access operated by the Forest Service on the Pere Marquette. Paddlers should be aware of this restriction when planning their trips. The site offers universal access facilities, making it accommodating for visitors of varying abilities.
This access point is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters looking to explore the lower sections of the Pere Marquette. Before your visit, check current water conditions and river flows, as these can significantly impact paddling difficulty and safety.
