Ditch Road Boat Ramp

Ditch Road Boat Launch is a Saginaw County pocket park offering access to the Shiawassee River on the east side of the Ditch Road bridge.

Located approximately 9 miles downstream from Henderson County Park, this access point serves as a convenient put-in or take-out for paddlers navigating the lower Shiawassee River, with a river gradient of 1 foot per mile in this section.

Note that paddlers should be aware of a partially dismantled dam at nearby Parshallsburg that can be portaged on the right bank or run at the spillway.
