BirdTroutOpen the map How to get to Cherry Creek, Michigan
MDNR's access file puts 1 public site on Cherry Creek — 1 walk-in site, spread over the counties it runs through. 1 block of public land touches the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 109,786 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Roscommon, 26.3 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water north-east of the town.

| Alpena | 42.7 mi | south-west |
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.
