BirdTroutOpen the map How to get to Greasy Creek, Michigan
No site in MDNR's access file falls on Greasy 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 — 69,120 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Gaylord, 32.0 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water east of the town.

| Roscommon | 36.9 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.
