No site in MDNR's access file falls on Asum Creek, so the way in is public ground and road crossings rather than a marked landing. 1 block of public land touches the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 103,956 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Roscommon, 6.9 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water east of the town.
| Town | Distance | Direction to the river |
|---|---|---|
| Roscommon | 6.9 mi | east |
| Grayling | 17.4 mi | south-east |
| Gaylord | 38.7 mi | south |
| Cadillac | 49.5 mi | east |
Straight-line distance from the river's midpoint, and the direction you would travel from the town to reach it. The roads are not mapped here, so there is no drive time — a travel time nobody measured is the kind of number that gets somebody lost.
Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it.
