No site in MDNR's access file falls on Hoxey 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 — 12,635 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Cadillac, 16.3 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water west of the town.
| Town | Distance | Direction to the river |
|---|---|---|
| Cadillac | 16.3 mi | west |
| Baldwin | 20.6 mi | north-east |
| Traverse City | 40.5 mi | south |
| Newaygo | 52.8 mi | north |
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.
Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it.
