MDNR's access file puts 1 public site on Palmer Bayou — 1 walk-in site, spread over the counties it runs through. 2 blocks of public land touch the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 26,972 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Grandville, 24.5 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water south-west of the town.

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.
