Sawdust Hole offers a rustic boat ramp (16 feet wide) providing access to the Manistee River for canoes, kayaks, and motorized watercraft.

The site features multiple footpaths leading to the river, vault toilets, picnic tables, and a nearby primitive campground operated on a first-come, first-served basis with minimal amenities.

Located along the scenic Manistee National Recreation River with connections to the North Country National Scenic Trail, it's a quieter alternative to more developed access points in the area.
