BirdTroutOpen the map How to get to the Rabbit River, Michigan
MDNR's access file puts 1 public site on the Rabbit River — 1 walk-in site, spread over Allegan. 4 blocks of public land touch the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 9,550 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Kentwood, 16.6 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.
