MDNR's access file puts 1 public site on Lake Creek — 1 launch, spread over Ionia. 1 block of public land touches the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 5 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Lowell, 7.3 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water east of the town.
| Town | Distance | Direction to the river |
|---|---|---|
| Lowell | 7.3 mi | east |
| Ada | 15.1 mi | east |
| Kentwood | 22.3 mi | east |
| Rockford | 23.4 mi | south-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.

Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it.
