Rd 3458 Bridge to State HWY 123

The Carp River, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, flows through predominantly forested lands with little development along its way. The river flows through the Mackinac Wilderness Area.

Park at primitive campsite south of bridge. River is deep, but narrow and brushy. This stretch is lightly maintained but you may need to portage around downed trees. The river is very windy from here to State HWY 123.
