BirdTroutOpen the map How to get to Port Creek, Michigan
No site in MDNR's access file falls on Port Creek, so the way in is public ground and road crossings rather than a marked landing. 2 blocks of public land touch the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 3,135 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Detroit, 21.6 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.
Public land on the water
- Oakwoods Metropark — Huron Clinton Metro Authority, 1,682 acres in all
- Willow Metropark — public, 1,453 acres in all
Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it.
