Whirlpool Parking

Whirlpool Fishing Access Site offers paved parking and an accessible fishing ramp on the Lower Au Sable River, with a boardwalk leading to a hardened fishing access area for those without boats.

The site provides convenient access for both small fishing boats and canoes, though visitors should wade carefully as the water is deep in this area.

Parking remains available year-round even when services are not maintained, making it accessible for spring fishing season.
