How to get to the Huron River, Michigan

MDNR's access file puts 1 public site on the Huron River — 1 launch, spread over Livingston, Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne. 75 blocks of public land touch the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 29,949 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Detroit, 26.4 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water west of the town.
