The Homestead Dam Fishing Access Site in Benzonia offers 50 parking spaces, vault toilets, and a carry-down launching area suitable for car-top boats, kayaks, and canoes only—no improved ramp is available.

Paddlers must use this site to portage around the Homestead Dam, a 110-foot structure with a 13. 4-foot height that was rebuilt in 1979 to allow limited fish passage.

Note that fishing is prohibited within 300 feet of the lamprey barrier and fish passage facility from August 1 to November 15, and the site is closed to use or occupancy between 1 a. m. and 4 a. m.
