MDNR's access file puts 1 public site on Swan Creek — 1 launch, spread over Allegan. 2 blocks of public land touch the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 26,818 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Grandville, 29.3 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water south-west of the town.
| Town | Distance | Direction to the river |
|---|---|---|
| Grandville | 29.3 mi | south-west |
| Kentwood | 29.9 mi | south-west |
| Wyoming | 30.8 mi | south-west |
| Grand Rapids | 34.8 mi | south-west |
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.
