No site in MDNR's access file falls on Big Brook, so the way in is public ground and road crossings rather than a marked landing. 3 blocks of public land touch the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 81,216 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water.
Public land on the water
- Escanaba Management Unit — Michigan DNR, 56,723 acres in all
- Escanaba River State Forest - Escanaba Unit — Michigan Department of Natural Resources, 21,307 acres in all
- Hayward Lake To North Lake Floodings State Wildlife Management Area — State Dept. of Natural Resources, 3,185 acres in all
Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it.
