No site in MDNR's access file falls on Elm Creek, 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 — 124,223 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water.
Public land on the water

- Porcupine Mountains — Michigan DNR, 51,740 acres in all
- Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park — Michigan Department of Natural Resources, 8,886 acres in all
Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it.
