How to get to the Sturgeon River, Michigan

No site in MDNR's access file falls on the Sturgeon River, so the way in is public ground and road crossings rather than a marked landing. 12 blocks of public land touch the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 169,292 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Marquette, 55.0 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water 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

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