Months of effort to improve access to the Shiawassee River is resulting in a sustainable and safe access point near Linden, Michigan.

The location has been used for years to access the river but without any sort of infrastructue to make the access less challenging. Instead of a steep bank and roadside parking, there will be off-raod parking and a stable, well-designed entry point to the river.

"The Hogan Road launch is the perfect exit point after an hour-and-a-half trip from downtown Linden—the perfect length for families with young children and 'newbies.' It is also the gateway to the rest of the river," said Maggie Yerman, a dedicated Keepers of the Shiawassee member.

An official ribbon cutting will be September 1, 2026
