No site in MDNR's access file falls on Red Run, so the way in is public ground and road crossings rather than a marked landing. 15 blocks of public land touch the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 395 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Detroit, 14.2 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water north 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.
