James D. Jeske Flooding, located in Marquette County, Michigan, provides public boat access through a concrete boat ramp with no dock near Sand River Road. The site serves as both a fishing destination and hunting location, particularly for waterfowl.

The site has a basic parking area that can accommodate five vehicles with trailers near the launch ramp. For those seeking primitive paddling experiences, the flooding connects to LeVasseur Creek. Both shoreline and on-water fishing opportunities are available.

From an accessibility standpoint, while the concrete launch ramp and hard surface parking area could be considered ADA-accessible across the grass parking area, other facilities and amenities are limited. The North Country Trail can be accessed both east and west from the parking area, providing opportunities to combine paddling with hiking.

Notably, since this is a flooding area rather than a natural lake, water levels can fluctuate significantly. In 2012 and 2018, the lake was drawn down for habitat management purposes.

Access: The site can be reached via Sand River Road, approximately 11 miles from the US-41/M-28 intersection. A two-track dirt road leads .3 miles from Sand River Road to the launch area.

Available Facilities: - Concrete boat launch ramp (no dock) - Parking for 5 vehicles with trailers - North Country Trail access

The flooding area sits just south of the mouth of the Sand River and Lake Superior, encompassing more than 700 acres of land. The surrounding area features typical Upper Peninsula natural habitat that supports both waterfowl and fish populations.
