BirdTroutOpen the map How to get to Fish Creek, Michigan
No site in MDNR's access file falls on Fish Creek, so the way in is public ground and road crossings rather than a marked landing. 10 blocks of public land touch the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 16,312 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Lowell, 29.0 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water north-east of the town.
Nearest towns
| Town | Distance | Direction to the river |
|---|---|---|
| Lowell | 29.0 mi | north-east |
| Cedar Springs | 32.3 mi | east |
| Rockford | 33.3 mi | east |
| Ada | 34.1 mi | north-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.
