The Mio Dam Pond Launch is a DNR-managed access point on the AuSable River's upper section, serving as a key entry point for paddlers and anglers exploring this Michigan blue ribbon trout stream.

This location marks the beginning of the middle section of the river, with approximately 2-hour float times to downstream access points, making it ideal for day trips or longer paddling adventures.

The site provides fishing access and serves as a gateway to over 120 miles of diverse waterway extending toward Lake Huron.
