Ontonagon River

Michigan Home | Michigan Sitemap
This river can be rough in spots, with quick, cascading falls and smooth in long stretches of calm water. There are plenty of put ins and take outs, so it shouldn’t be a problem if you want to take it easy, challenge yourself, or some combination of both.

The sandstone cliffs along the shoreline make a great perch for campers, campers, hikers, and those that would rather skim the outlying land and stay dry. The watershed makes for great natural observation and hikes ranging from strenuous to safe. The Ontonagon’s sweeping curves can become quite addictive, you may find yourself planning your next trip around the great river.
