Wide and smooth flowing, this is perfect for beginners. The Michigan's Great Outdoors collaborative consists of five Northern Michigan counties all working together to promote tourism in the region.
With so many hiking, biking, winter sports, and ORV trails in the region that dynamically connect these counties, this site is devoted to educate the first-time visitor to the region looking to explore the great outdoors for the first time.
We welcome you to browse this site and explore all this region has to offer. See the amenities at each of the sites outlined on the map below for more information. There are no campgrounds or designated campsites along Bear Creek on National Forest Service system lands. Along the Upper and Recreation portions of the Manistee River, anglers are lured by the annual salmon and steelhead runs, as well as brown trout, smallmouth bass and walleye. Salmon season is the busiest for this river, and access sites are often filled to capacity.
The river is great for cold water fishing, and the river is particularly busy during fishing season where it meets up with the Manistee River.
Walk-on ice fishing is permitted on National Forest Lands. No vehicles may be driven onto the ice of any lake, pond, stream or river on the National Forest.
Ice fishing is done at the fishermans own risk. The trail traverses past several wetlands and there are bridges crossing two creeks. A waterfall near the northern end of the trail is very popular with many hikers.
Several observation sites along the trail provide hikers with vista views of the Manistee River and surrounding area. There are several dispersed campsites along the trail.
This hike can also be done as a one-day hike by only walking one side of the river. The portion of the trail between Blacksmith Bayou and High Bridge, along the Manistee River, is a signed interpretive trail and is maintained in partnership with trail volunteers. For those wishing to hike without trails, the 7, acre area will provide that opportunity. Udell Rollways hosts an hole disc golf course, as well as scenic views of the Manistee Recreation River and a group picnic pavilion.
Some parts have tighter navigation and fast switchbacks which may take you a little off guard, but this is a great river for the casual paddler. You will also find an abundance of rope swings and great sand bars at which to stop and socialize. The entire Manistee River located within Manistee County is what we would consider easy to moderate for the paddler. Like many rivers, the higher up the river you go, the swifter the current and tighter the turns.
This is a great river for the beginner paddler, but be sure to wear your life jacket, portions of this river can be quite deep. Those looking for a lazy float down the river, tube the Hodenpyl Dam to Red Bridge access. Make sure you leave early in the morning, this can be a long float, but a fun one. Many places to stop and enjoy company with good friends.
